INTRODUCTION

</h2>

</a>



<p align="left">It's perhaps fitting that I write this introduction in jail-

that graduate school of survival.  Here you learn how to use 

toothpaste as glue, fashion a shiv out of a spoon and build 

intricate communication networks.  Here too, you learn the only 

rehabilitation possible-hatred of oppression.</p>



<p align="left">Steal This Book is, in a way, a manual of survival in the 

prison that is Amerika.  It preaches jailbreak.  It shows you where 

exactly how to place the dynamite that will destroy the walls.	The 

first section-SURVIVE!-lays out a potential action program for our 

new Nation.  The chapter headings spell out the demands for a free 

society.  A community where the technology produces goods and 

services for whoever needs them, come who may.	It calls on the 

Robin Hoods of Santa Barbara Forest to steal from the robber barons 

who own the castles of capitalism.  It implies that the reader 

already is "ideologically set," in that he understands corporate 

feudalism as the only robbery worthy of being called "crime," for 

it is committed against the people as a whole.	Whether the ways it 

describes to rip-off shit are legal or illegal is irrelevant.  The 

dictionary of law is written by the bosses of order.  Our moral 

dictionary says no heisting from each other.  To steal from a 

brother or sister is evil.  To not steal from the institutions that 

are the pillars of the Pig Empire is equally immoral.</p>



<p align="left">Community within our Nation, chaos in theirs; that is the 

message of SURVIVE!</p>



<p align="left">We cannot survive without learning to fight and that is the 

lesson in the second section.  FIGHT! separates revolutionaries 

from outlaws. The purpose of part two is not to fuck the system, 

but destroy it. The weapons are carefully chosen. They are 

"home-made," in that they are designed for use in our unique 

electronic jungle. Here the uptown reviewer will find ample proof 

of our "violent" nature. But again, the dictionary of law fails us. 

Murder in a uniform is heroic, in a costume it is a crime. False 

advertisements win awards, forgers end up in jail. Inflated prices 

guarantee large profits while shoplifters are punished. Politicians 

conspire to create police riots and the victims are convicted in 

the courts. Students are gunned down and then indicted by suburban 

grand juries as the trouble-makers. A modern, highly mechanized 

army travels 9,000 miles to commit genocide against a small nation 

of great vision and then accuses its people of aggression. 

Slumlords allow rats to maim children and then complain of violence 

in the streets. Everything is topsy-turvy. If we internalize the 

language and imagery of the pigs, we will forever be fucked. Let me 

illustrate the point. Amerika was built on the slaughter of a 

people. That is its history. For years we watched movie after movie 

that demonstrated the white man's benevolence. Jimmy Stewart, the 

epitome of fairness, puts his arm around Cochise and tells how the 

Indians and the whites can live in peace if only both sides will be 

reasonable, responsible and rational (the three R's imperialists 

always teach the "natives"). "You will find good grazing land on 

the other side of the mountain," drawls the public relations man. 

"Take your people and go in peace." Cochise as well as millions of 

youngsters in the balcony of learning, were being dealt off the 

bottom of the deck. The Indians should have offed Jimmy Stewart in 

every picture and we should have cheered ourselves hoarse. Until we 

understand the	nature of institutional violence and how it 

manipulates values and mores to maintain the power of the few, we 

will forever be imprisoned in the caves of ignorance. When we 

conclude that bank robbers rather than bankers should be the 

trustees of the universities, then we begin to think clearly. When 

we see the Army Mathematics Research and Development Center and the 

Bank of Amerika as cesspools of violence, filling the minds of our 

young with hatred, turning one against another, then we begin to 

think revolutionary.</p>



<p align="left">Be clever using section two; clever as a snake. Dig the spirit 

of the struggle. Don't get hung up on a sacrifice trip. Revolution 

is not about suicide, it is about life. With your fingers probe the 

holiness of your body and see that it was meant to live. Your body 

is just one in a mass of cuddly humanity. Become an 

internationalist and learn to respect all life. Make war on 

machines, and in particular the sterile machines of corporate death 

and the robots that guard them.  The duty of a revolutionary is to 

make love and that means staying alive and free. That doesn't allow 

for cop-outs. Smoking dope and hanging up Che's picture is no more 

a commitment than drinking milk and collecting postage stamps. A 

revolution in consciousness is an empty high without a revolution 

in the distribution of power. We are not interested in the greening 

of Amerika except for the grass that will cover its grave.</p>



<p align="left">Section three - LIBERATE! - concerns itself with efforts to 

free stuff (or at least make it cheap) in four cities. Sort of a 

quick U.S. on no dollars a day. It begins to scratch the potential 

for a national effort in this area. Since we are a nation of 

gypsies, dope on how to move around and dig in anywhere is always 

needed. Together we can expand this section. It is far from 

complete, as is the entire project. Incomplete chapters on how to 

identify police agents, steal a car, run day-care centers, conduct 

your own trial, organize a G.I. coffee house, start a rock and roll 

band and make neat clothes, are scattered all over the floor of the 

cell. The book as it now stands was completed in the late summer of 

1970. For three months manuscripts made the rounds of every major 

publisher. In all, over 30 rejections occurred before the decision 

to publish the book ourselves was made, or rather made for us. 

Perhaps no other book in modern times presented such a dilemma. 

Everyone agreed the book would be a commercial success. But even 

greed had its limits, and the IRS and FBI following the manuscript 

with their little jive rap had a telling effect. Thirty "yeses" 

become thirty "noes" after "thinking it over." Liberals, who 

supposedly led the fight against censorship, talked of how the book 

"will end free speech."</p>



<p align="left">Finally the day we were bringing the proofs to the printer, 

Grove consented to act as distributor. To pull a total solo trip, 

including distribution, would have been neat, but such an effort 

would be doomed from the start. We had tried it before and blew it. 

In fact, if anyone is interested in 4,000 1969 Yippie calendars, 

they've got a deal. Even with a distributor joining the fight, the 

battle will only begin when the books come off the press. There is 

a saying that "Freedom of the press belongs to those who own one." 

In past eras, this was probably the case, but now, high speed 

methods of typesetting, offset printing and a host of other 

developments have made substantial reductions in printing costs. 

Literally anyone is free to print their own works. In even the most 

repressive society imaginable, you can get away with some form of 

private publishing. Because Amerika allows this, does not make it 

the democracy Jefferson envisioned. Repressive tolerance is a real 

phenomenon. To talk of true freedom of the press, we must talk of 

the availability of the channels of communication that are designed 

to reach the entire population, or at least that segment of the 

population that might participate in such a dialogue. Freedom of 

the press belongs to those that own the distribution system. 

Perhaps that has always been the case, but in a mass society where 

nearly everyone is instantaneously plugged into a variety of 

national communications systems, wide-spread dissemination of the 

information is the crux of the matter. To make the claim that the 

right to print your own book means freedom of the press is to 

completely misunderstand the nature of a mass society. It is like 

making the claim that anyone with a pushcart can challenge Safeway 

supermarkets, or that any child can grow up to be president.</p>



<p align="left">State legislators, librarians, PTA members, FBI agents, 

church-goers, and parents: a veritable legion of decency and order 

already is on the march. To get the book to you might be the 

biggest challenge we face. The next few months should prove really 

exciting.</p>



<p align="left">Obviously such a project as Steal This Book could not have 

been carried out alone. Izak Haber shared the vision from the 

beginning. He did months of valuable research and contributed many 

of the survival techniques. Carole Ramer and Gus Reichbach of the 

New York Law Commune guided the book through its many stages. Anna 

Kaufman Moon did almost all the photographs. The cartoonists who 

have made contributions include Ski Williamson and Gilbert Sheldon. 

Tom Forcade, of the UPS, patiently did the editing. Bert Cohen of 

Concert Hall did the book's graphic design. Amber and John Wilcox 

set the type. Anita Hoffman and Lynn Borman helped me rewrite a 

number of sections. There are others who participated in the 

testing of many of the techniques demonstrated in the following 

pages and for obvious reasons have to remain anonymous. There were 

perhaps over 50 brothers and sisters who played particularly vital 

roles in the grand conspiracy. Some of the many others are listed 

on the following page. We hope to keep the information up to date. 

If you have comments, law suits, suggestions or death threats, 

please send them to: Dear Abbie P.0. Box 213, Cooper Station, 

New York, NY 10003. Many of the tips might not work in your area, 

some might be obsolete by the time you get to try them out, and 

many addresses and phone numbers might be changed. If the reader 

becomes a participating researcher then we will have achieved our 

purpose.</p>



<p align="left">Watch for a special edition called Steal This White House, 

complete with blueprints of underground passages, methods of 

jamming the communications network and a detailed map of the 

celebrated room where according to Tricia Nixon, "Daddy loves to 

listen to Mantovanni records, turn up the air conditioner full 

blast, sit by the fireplace, gaze out the window to the Washington 

Monument and meditate on those difficult problems that face all the 

peoples of this world."</p>

RESTAURANTS

</h4>

<p align="left">In a country such as Amerika, there is bound to be a 

hell-of-a-lot food lying around just waiting to be ripped off. If 

you want to live high off the hog without having to do the dishes, 

restaurants are easy pickings.	In general, many of these targets 

are easier marks if you are wearing the correct uniform. You should 

always have one suit or fashionable dress outfit hanging in the 

closet for the proper heists. Specialized uniforms, such as nun and 

priest garb, can be most helpful. Check out your local uniform 

store for a wide range of clothes that will get you in, and 

especially out, of all kinds of stores. Every movement organization 

should have a prop and costume department.</p>



<p align="left">In every major city there are usually bars that cater to the 

New Generation type riff-raff, trying to hustle their way up the 

escalator of Big Business. Many of these bars have a buffet or 

hors-d'oeuvres served free as a come-on to drink more mindless 

booze. Take a half-empty glass from a table and use it as a prop to 

ward off the anxious waitress. Walk around sampling the free food 

until you've had enough. Often, there are five or six such bars in 

close proximity, so moving around can produce a delightful "street 

smorgasbord." Dinner usually begins at 5:00 PM.</p>



<p align="left">If you are really hungry, you can go into a self-service 

cafeteria and finish the meal of someone who left a lot on the 

plate. Self-service restaurants are usually good places to cop 

things like mustard, ketchup, salt, sugar, toilet paper, silverware 

and cups for home use. Bring an empty school bag and load up after 

you've cased the joint. Also, if you can stomach the food, you can 

use slugs at the automat. Finishing leftovers can be worked in even 

the fanciest of restaurants. When you are seated at a place where 

the dishes still remain, chow-down real quick. Then after the 

waitress hands you the menu, say you have to meet someone outside 

first, and leave.</p>



<p align="left">There are still some places where you can get all you can eat 

for a fixed price. The best of these places are in Las Vegas. Sew a 

plastic bag onto your tee-shirt or belt and wear a loose-fitting 

jacket or coat to cover any noticeable bulge. Fried chicken is the 

best and the easiest to pocket, or should we say bag. Another trick 

is to pour your second free cup of hot coffee into the plastic bag 

sewed inside your pocket and take it with you.</p>



<p align="left">At large take-out stands you can say you or your brother just 

picked up an order of fifteen hamburgers or a bucket of chicken, 

and got shorted. We have never seen or heard of anybody getting 

turned down using this method. If you want to get into a grand food 

heist from take-out stands, you can work the following nervy bit: 

from a pay phone, place an order from a large delivery restaurant. 

Have the order sent to a nearby apartment house. Wait a few minutes 

in the booth after you've hung up, as they sometimes call back to 

confirm the order. When the delivery man goes into the apartment 

house to deliver the order, you can swipe the remaining orders that 

are still in his truck.</p>



<p align="left">In fancy sit-down restaurants, you can order a large meal and 

halfway through the main course, take a little dead cockroach or a 

piece of glass out of your pocket and place it deftly on the plate. 

Jump up astonished and summon the headwaiter. "Never have I been so 

insulted. I could have been poisoned" you scream slapping down the 

napkin. You can refuse to pay and leave, or let the waiter talk you 

into having a brand new meal on the house for this terrible 

inconvenience.</p>



<p align="left">In restaurants where you pay at the door just before leaving, 

there are a number of free-loading tricks that can be utilized. 

After you've eaten a full meal and gotten the check, go into the 

restroom. When you come out go to the counter or another section of 

the restaurant and order coffee and pie. Now you have two bills. 

Simply pay the cheaper one when you leave the place. This can be 

worked with a friend in the following way. Sit next to each other 

at the counter. He should order a big meal and you a cup of coffee. 

Pretend you don't know each other. When he leaves, he takes your 

check and leaves the one for the large meal on the counter. After 

he has paid the cashier and left the restaurant, you pick up the 

large check, and then go into the astonishment routine, complaining 

that somebody took the wrong check. You end up only paying for your 

coffee. Later, meet your partner and reverse the roles in another 

place.</p>



<p align="left">In all these methods, you should leave a good tip for the 

waiter or waitress, especially with the roach-in-the-plate gambit. 

You should try to avoid getting the employees in trouble or 

screwing them out of a tip.</p>



<p align="left">One fantastic method of not only getting free food but getting 

the best available is the following technique that can be used in 

metropolitan areas. Look in a large magazine shop for gourmet 

digests and tourist manuals. Swipe one or two and copy down a good 

name from the masthead inside the cover. Making up a name can also 

work. Next invest $5.00 to print business cards with the name of 

the magazine and the new "associate editor." Call or simply drop 

into a fancy restaurant, show a copy of the magazine and present 

the manager with your card. They will insist that the meal be on 

the house.</p>



<p align="left">Great places to get fantastic meals are weddings, 

bar-mitzvahs, testimonials and the like. The newspaper society 

sections have lists of weddings and locations. If your city has a 

large Jewish population, subscribe to the newspaper that services 

the Jewish community. There are extensive lists in these papers of 

family occasions where tons of good food is served. Show up at the 

back of the synagogue a few hours after the affair has begun with a 

story of how you'd like to bring some leftovers of "good Jewish 

food" back to your fraternity or sorority. If you want to get the 

food served to you out front, you naturally have to disguise 

yourself to look straight. Remarks such as, "I'm Marvin's cousin," 

or learning the bride's name, "Gee, Dorothy looks marvelous" are 

great. Lines like "Betty doesn't look pregnant" are frowned upon. A 

man and woman team can work this free-load much better than a 

single person as they can chatter back and forth while stuffing 

themselves.</p>



<p align="left">If you're really into a classy free meal, and you are in a 

city with a large harbor, check out the passenger ship section in 

the back pages of the newspaper. There you find the schedule of 

departures for ocean cruises. Most trips (these kind, anyway) begin 

with a fantastic bon voyage party on board ship. Just walk on a few 

hours before departure time and start swinging. Champagne, caviar, 

lobster, shrimp and more, all as free as the open seas. If you get 

really bombed and miss getting off, you can also wiggle a ride 

across the ocean. You get sent back as soon as you hit the other 

side, but it's a free ocean cruise. You should have a pretty good 

story ready to go, or you might end up rowing in the galley.</p>



<p align="left">Another possibility for getting a free meal is to go down to 

the docks and get friendly with a sailor. He can often invite you 

for dinner on board ship. Foreign sailors are more than glad to 

meet friends and you can get great foreign dinners this way.</p>

<h4>

FOOD PROGRAMS

</h4>

</a>



<p align="left">In Amerika, there is a national food stamp program that 

unfortunately is controlled by the states. Many states, for racist 

reasons, do not want to make it too available or to publicize the 

fact that it even exists. It is a much better deal than the food 

program connected with welfare, because you can use the stamps to 

buy any kind of food. The only items excluded are tobacco products 

and alcoholic beverages. In general, you can qualify if you earn 

less than $165 per month; the less you earn, the more stamps you 

can receive. There is minimal hassle involved once you get by the 

first hurdle. Show up at your local food stamp office, which can be 

found by calling the Welfare Department in our city. Make an 

appointment to see a representative for your area. They will tell 

you to bring all sorts of receipts, but the only thing you need are 

a few rent stubs for the most recent months. An array of various 

receipt books is a nice supplement to one's prop room. If the 

receipts are for a high rent, tell them you rent a room from a 

group of people and eat separately. They really only want to prove 

that you have cooking facilities. Once you get the stamps, you can 

pick them up regularly. Some states even mail them to your pad. You 

can get up to a hundred dollars worth of free purchases a month per 

person in the most liberal states.</p>



<p align="left">Large amounts of highly nutritional food can be gotten for as 

little as three cents per meal from a non-profit organization 

called Multi-Purpose Food for Millions Foundation, Inc., 1800 

Olympic Ave., Santa Monica, California. Write and they will send 

you details.</p>

<h4>

SUPERMARKETS

</h4>

</a>



<p align="left">Talking about food in Amerika means talking about 

supermarkets-mammoth neon lighted streets of food packaged to 

hoodwink the consumers. Many a Yippie can be found in the aisles, 

stuffing his pockets with assorted delicacies. We have been 

shoplifting from supermarkets on a regular basis without raising 

the slightest suspicion, ever since they began.</p>



<p align="left">We are not alone, and the fact that so much stealing goes on 

and the supermarkets still bring in huge profits shows exactly how 

much overcharging has occurred in the first place. Supermarkets, 

like other businesses, refer to shoplifting as "inventory 

shrinkage." It's as if we thieves were helping Big Business reduce 

weight. So let's view our efforts as methods designed to trim the 

economy and push forward with a positive attitude.</p>



<p align="left">Women should never go shopping without a large handbag. In 

those crowded aisles, especially the ones with piles of cases, all 

sorts of goodies can be transferred from shopping cart to handbag. 

A drop bag can be sewn inside a trench coat, for more efficient 

thievery. Don't worry about the mirrors; attendants never look at 

them.  Become a discriminating shopper and don't stuff any of the 

cheap shit in your pockets.</p>



<p align="left">Small bottles and jars often have the same size cap as the 

larger expensive sizes. If they have the price stamped on the cap, 

switch caps, getting the larger size for the cheaper price. You can 

empty a pound box of margarine and fill it with sticks of butter. 

Small narrow items can be hidden in the middle of rolls of toilet 

paper. Larger supermarkets sell records. You can sneak two good 

LP's into one of those large frozen pizza boxes. In the produce 

department, there are bags for fruit and vegetables. Slip a few 

steaks or some lamb chops into the bottom of a large brown bag and 

pile some potatoes on top. Have a little man in the white coat 

weigh the bag, staple it and mark the price. With a black crayon 

you can mark your own prices, or bring your own adhesive price 

tags.</p>



<p align="left">It's best to work shoplifting in the supermarket with a 

partner who can act as look-out and shield you from the eyes of 

nosy employees, shoppers and other crooks trying to pick up some 

pointers. Work out a prearranged set of signals with your partner. 

Diversions, like knocking over displays, getting into fist fights 

with the manager, breaking plate glass windows and such are 

effective and even if you don't get anything they're fun. Haven't 

you always wanted to knock over those carefully constructed 

nine-foot pyramids of garbage?</p>



<p align="left">You can walk into a supermarket, get a few items from the 

shelves, and walk around eating food in the aisles.  Pick up some 

cherries and eat them.	Have a spoon in your pocket and open some 

yogurt. Open a pickle or olive jar. Get some sliced meat or cheese 

from the delicatessen counter and eat it up, making sure to ditch 

the wrapper. The cart full of items, used as a decoy, can just be 

left in an aisle before you leave the store.</p>



<p align="left">Case the joint before pulling a big rip-off. Know the least 

crowded hours, learn the best aisles to be busy in, and check out 

the store's security system. Once you get into shoplifting in 

supermarkets, you'll really dig it. You'll be surprised to learn 

that the food tastes better.</p>



<p align="left">Large scale thievery can best be carried out with the help of 

an employee. Two ways we know of work best. A woman can get a job 

as a cashier and ring up a small bill as her brothers and sisters 

bring home tons of stuff.</p>



<p align="left">The method for men involves getting a job loading and 

unloading trucks in the receiving department. Some accomplices 

dressed right can just pull in and, with your help, load up on a 

few cases. Infiltrating an employee into a store is probably the 

best way to steal. Cashiers, sales clerks, shippers, and the like 

are readily available jobs with such high turnover and low pay that 

little checking on your background goes on. Also, you can learn 

what you have to do in a few days. The rest of the week, you can 

work out ways to clean out the store. After a month or so of action 

you might want to move on to another store before things get heavy. 

We know one woman working as a cashier who swiped over $500 worth 

of food a week. She had to leave after a month because her boss 

thought she was such an efficient cashier that he insisted on 

promoting her to a job that didn't have as many fringe benefits for 

her and her friends.</p>



<p align="left">Large chain stores like Safeway throw away day-old vegetables, 

the outer leaves of lettuce, celery and the like. This stuff is 

usually found in crates outside the back of the building. Tell them 

you're working with animals at the college labs, or that you raise 

guinea pigs. They might even get into saving them for you, but if 

they don't just show up before the garbage is collected, (generally 

early in the morning), and they'll let you cart away what you want.</p>



<p align="left">Dented cans and fruit can often be gotten free, but certainly 

at a reduced rate. They are still as good as the undamaged ones. So 

be sure to dent all your cans before you go to the cashier.</p>



<p align="left">Look up catering services and businesses that service 

factories and office buildings with ready-made sandwiches. Showing 

up at these places at the right times (catering services on late 

Sunday night and sandwich dealers at 5:00 PM on weekdays) will 

produce loads of good food. Legally, they have to dispose of the 

food that's left over. They would be more than happy to give it to 

you if you spin a good story.</p>



<p align="left">Butchers can be hustled for meat scraps with meat scraps with 

a "for my dog" story, and bakeries can be asked for day-old rolls 

and bread.</p>



<a name="2.01.4">

<h4>

WHOLESALE MARKETS

</h4>

</a>



<p align="left">Large cities all have a wholesale fruit and vegetable area 

where often the workers will give you tons of free food just for 

the asking. Get a good story together. Get some church stationery 

and type a letter introducing yourself "to whom it may concern," or 

better still, wear some clerical garb. Orchards also make good 

pickings just after the harvest has been completed.</p>



<p align="left">Factories often will give you a case or two of free 

merchandise for a "charitable" reason. Make some calls around town 

and then go pick up the stuff at the end of the week. A great idea 

is to get a good list of a few hundred large corporations around 

the country by looking up their addresses at the library. Poor's 

Register of Companies, Directors and Executives has the most 

complete list. Send them all letters complaining about how the last 

box of cereal was only half full, or you found a dead fly in the 

can of peaches. They often will send you an ample supply of items 

just to keep you from complaining to your friends or worse, taking 

them to court. Often you can get stuff sent to you by just telling 

them how good their product is compared to the trash you see 

nowadays. You know the type of letter - "Rice Krispies have had a 

fantastic effect on my sexual prowess," or "Your frozen asparagus 

has given a whole new meaning to my life." In general though, the 

nasties get the best results.</p>



<p align="left">Slaughterhouses usually have meat they will give away. They 

are anxious to give to church children's programs and things like 

that. In most states, there is a law that if the slab of meat 

touches the ground, they have to throw it away. Drop around meat 

houses late in the day and trip a few trucks.</p>



<p align="left">Fishermen always have hundreds of pounds of fish that have to 

be thrown out. You can have as much as you can cart away, generally 

just for the asking. Boats come in late in the afternoon and 

they'll give you some of the catch, or you can go to the markets 

early in the morning when the fishing is best.</p>



<p align="left">These methods of getting food in large quantities can only be 

appreciated by those who have tried it. You will be totally baffled 

by the unbelievable quantities of food that will be laid on you and 

with the ease of panhandling.</p>



<p align="left">Investing in a freezer will allow you to bi-weekly or even 

monthly trips to the wholesale markets and you'll get the freshest 

foods to boot. Nothing can beat getting it wholesale for free. Or 

is it free for wholesale? In any event, "bon appetit."</p>

<h4>

FOOD CONSPIRACIES

</h4>

</a>



<p align="left">Forming a food cooperative is one of the best ways to promote 

solidarity and get every kind of food you need to survive real 

cheap.	It also provides a ready-made bridge for developing 

alliances with blacks, Puerto Ricans, chicanos and other groups 

fighting our common oppressor on a community level.</p>



<p align="left">Call a meeting of about 20 communes, collectives or community 

organizations. Set up the ground rules. There should be a hard-core 

of really good hustlers that serve as the shopping or hunting party 

and another group of people who have their heads together enough to 

keep records and run the central distribution center. Two or three 

in each group should do it. They can get their food free for the 

effort. Another method is to rotate the activity among all members 

of the conspiracy. The method you choose depends upon your politics 

and whether you favor a division of labor or using the food 

conspiracy as a training for collective living. Probably a blend of 

the two is best, but you'll have to hassle that out for yourself. 

The next thing to agree upon is how the operation and all the shit 

you get will be paid for.  This is dependent on a number of 

variables, so we'll map out one scheme and you can modify it to 

suit your particular situation. Each member of every commune could 

be assessed a fee for joining. You want to get together about 

$2,000, so at 200 members, this is ten bucks a piece. After the 

joining fee, each person or group has to pay only for the low 

budget food they order, but some loot is needed to get things 

rolling. The money goes to getting a store front or garage, a cheap 

truck, some scales, freezers, bags, shelving, chopping blocks, 

slicer and whatever else you need.  You can get great deals by 

looking in the classified ads of the local overground newspaper and 

checking for restaurants or markets going out of business. Remember 

the idea of a conspiracy is to get tons of stuff at real low prices 

or free into a store front, and then break it down into smaller 

units for each group and eventually each member. The freezers allow 

you to store perishables for a longer time.</p>



<p align="left">The hunting party should be well acquainted with how to rip 

off shit totally free and where all the best deals are to be found. 

They should know what food is seasonal and about nutritional diets. 

There is a lot to learn, such as where to get raw grains in 100 

pounds lots and how to cut up a side of beef. A good idea is to get 

a diet freak to give weekly talks in the store front. There can 

also be cooking lessons taught, especially to men, so women can get 

out of the kitchen.</p>



<p align="left">Organizing a community around a basic issue of survival, such 

as food, makes a lot of nitty gritty sense. After your conspiracy 

gets off the ground and looks permanent, you should seek to expand 

it to include more members and an emergency food fund should be set 

up in case something happens in the community. There should also be 

a fund whereby the conspiracy can sponsor free community dinners 

tied into celebrations. Get it together and join the fight for a 

world-wide food conspiracy. Seize the steak!</p>

CHEAP CHOW

</h4>

</a>



<p align="left">There are hundreds of good paperback cook books with 

nutritional cheap recipes available in any bookstore. Cooking is a 

vastly overrated skill. The following are a few all-purpose dishes 

that are easy to make, nutritional and cheap as mud pies. You can 

add or subtract many of the ingredients for variety.</p>



<pre>

Hog Farm Granola Breakfast (Road Hog Crispies)

� c millet		2 c raw oats

� c cracked wheat	1 c rye flakes

� c buckwheat groats	1 c wheat flakes

� c wheat germ		1 c dried fruits and/or nuts

� c sunflower seeds	3 tbs soy oil

� c sesame seeds	1 c honey

2 tbs cornmeal

</pre>



<p align="left">Boil the millet in a double boiler for 1/2 hour. Mix in a large 

bowl all the ingredients including the millet. The soy oil and 

honey should be heated in a saucepan over a low flame until bubbles 

form. Spread the cereal in a baking pan and cover with the honey 

syrup. Toast in oven until brown. Stir once or twice so that all 

the cereal will be toasted. Serve plain or with milk. Refrigerate 

portion not used in a covered container. Enough for ten to twenty 

people. Make lots and store for later meals. All these ingredients 

can be purchased at any health store in a variety of quantities. 

You can also get natural sugar if you need a sweetener. If bought 

and made in quantity, this fantastically healthy breakfast food 

will be cheaper than the brand name cellophane that passes for 

cereal.</p>



<pre>

Whole Earth Bread

1 c oats, corn meal, or wheat germ	2 tsp salt

1� c water (warm)			2 egg yolks

� c sugar (raw is best) 		4 c flour

1 pkg active dry yeast			_ c corn oil

1 c dry milk				or butter

</pre>



<p align="left">Stir lightly in a large bowl the oats, cornmeal or wheat germ 

(depending on the flavor bread you desire), the water and sugar. 

Sprinkle in the yeast and wait 10 minutes for the yeast to do its 

thing. Add salt, egg yolks, corn oil and dry milk. Mix with a fork. 

Blend in the flour. The dough should be dry and a little lumpy. 

Cover with a towel and leave in a warm place for a half hour. Now 

mash, punch, blend and kick the dough and return it covered to its 

warm place. The dough will double in size. When this happens, 

separate the dough into two even masses and mash each one into a 

greased bread (loaf) pan. Cover the pans and let sit until the 

dough rises to the top of the pans. Bake for 40-45 minutes in a 350 

degree oven that has not been pre-heated. A shallow tray of water 

in the bottom of the oven will keep the bread nice and moist. When 

you remove the pans from the oven, turn out the bread into a rack 

and let it cool off. Once you get the hang of it, you'll never 

touch ready-made bread, and it's a gas seeing yeast work.</p>



Street Salad



<p align="left">Salad can be made by chopping up almost any variety of 

vegetables, nuts and fruits including the stuff you panhandled at 

the back of supermarkets; dandelions, shav, and other wild 

vegetables; and goods you ripped off inside stores or from large 

farms. A neat fresh dressing consists of one part of oil, two parts 

wine vinegar, finely chopped garlic cloves, salt and pepper. Mix up 

the ingredients in a bottle and add to the salad as you serve it. 

Russian dressing is simply mayonnaise and ketchup mixed.</p>



Yippie Yogurt



<p align="left">Yogurt is one of the most nutritional foods in the world. The 

stuff you buy in stores has preservatives added to it reducing its 

health properties and increasing the cost. Yogurt is a bacteria 

that spreads throughout a suitable culture at the correct 

temperature. Begin by going to a Turkish or Syrian restaurant and 

buying some yogurt to go. Some restaurants boast of yogurt that 

goes back over a hundred years. Put it in the refrigerator.</p>



<p align="left">Now prepare the culture in which the yogurt will multiply. The 

consistency you want will determine what you use. A milk culture 

will produce thin yogurt, while sweet cream will make a thicker 

batch. It's the butter fat content that determines the consistency 

and also the number of calories. Half milk and half cream combines 

the best of both worlds. Heat a quart of half and half on a low 

flame until just before the boiling point and remove from the 

stove. This knocks out other bacteria that will compete with the 

yogurt. Now take a tablespoon of the yogurt you got from the 

restaurant and place it in the bottom of a bowl (not metal). Now 

add the warm liquid. Cover the bowl with a lid and wrap tightly 

with a heavy towel. Place the bowl in a warm spot such as on top of 

a radiator or in a sunny window. A turned-off oven with a tray of 

boiling water placed in it will do well. Just let the bowl sit for 

about 8 hours (overnight). The yogurt simply grows until the whole 

bowl is yogurt. Yippie! It will keep in the refrigerator for about 

two weeks before turning sour, but even then, the bacteria will 

produce a fresh batch of top quality. Remember when eating it to 

leave a little to start the next batch. For a neat treat add some 

honey and cinnamon and mix into the yogurt before serving. Chopped 

fruit and nuts are also good.</p>



<pre>

Rice and Cong Sauce

1 c brown rice	vegetables

2 c water	2� tbs soy sauce

tsp salt

</pre>



<p align="left">Bring the water to a boil in a pot and add the salt and rice. 

Cover and reduce flame. Cooking time is about 40 minutes or until 

rice has absorbed all the water. Meanwhile, in a well-greased 

frying pan, saute a variety of chopped vegetables you enjoy. When 

they become soft and brownish, add salt and 2 cups of water. Cover 

with a lid and lower flame. Simmer for about 40 minutes, peeking to 

stir every once in a while. Then add 2 1/2 tbs of soy sauce, stir 

and cook another 10 minutes. The rice should be just cooling off 

now, so add the sauce to the top of it and serve. Great for those 

long guerrilla hikes. This literally makes up almost the entire 

diet of the National Liberation Front fighter.</p>



<pre>

Weatherbeans

1 lb red kidney beans	2 tbs parsley (chopped)

2 quarts water		� lb pork, smoked sausage

1 onion (chopped)	  or ham hock

1 tbs celery (chopped)	1 lg bay leaf

1 tsp garlic (minced)	salt to season

</pre>



<p align="left">Rinse the beans, then place in covered pot and add water and 

salt. Cook over low flame. While cooking, chop up meat and brown in 

a frying pan. Add onion, celery, garlic and parsley and continue 

sauteing over low flame. Add the pieces of meat, vegetables and bay 

leaf to the beans and cook covered for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. It may be 

necessary to add more water if the beans get too dry. Fifteen 

minutes before beans are done, mash about a half cup of the stuff 

against the side of the pan to thicken the liquid. Pour the beans 

and liquid over some steaming rice that you've made by following 

the directions above. This should provide a cheap nutritional meal 

for about 6 people.</p>



<pre>

Hedonist's Deluxe

2 lobsters	2 qts water

seaweed 	� lb butter

</pre>



<p align="left">Steal two lobsters, watching out for the claw thingies. Beg 

some seaweed from any fish market. Cop the butter using the 

switcheroo method described in the Supermarket section above. When 

you get home, boil the water in a large covered pot and drop in the 

seaweed and then the lobsters. Put the cover back on and cook for 

about 20 minutes. Melt the butter in a sauce pan and dip the 

lobster pieces in it as you eat. With a booster box, described 

later you'll be able to rip off a bottle of vintage Pouilly-Fuisse 

in a fancy liquor store. Really, rice is nice but...</p>

<h4>

FREE CLOTHING

</h4>

</a>



<p align="left">If shoplifting food seems easy, it's nothing compared to the 

snatching of clothing. Shop only the better stores. Try thing on in 

those neat secluded stalls. The less bulky items such as shirts, 

vests, belts and socks can be tied around your waist or leg with 

large rubber bands if needed. Just take a number of items in and 

come out with a few less.</p>



<p align="left">In some cities there are still free stores left over from the 

flower power days. Churches often have give-away clothing programs. 

You can impersonate a clergyman and call one of the large clothing 

manufacturers in your area. They are usually willing to donate a 

case or two of shirts, trousers or underwear to your church raffle 

or drive to dress up skid row. Be sure to get your sizes. Tell them 

"your boy" will pick up the blessed donation and you'll mention his 

company in the evening prayers.</p>



<p align="left">If you notice people moving from an apartment or house, ask 

them if they'll be leaving behind clothing. They usually abandon 

all sorts of items including food, furniture and books. Offer to 

help them carry out stuff if you can keep what they won't be 

taking.</p>



<p align="left">Make the rounds of a fancy neighborhood with a truck and some 

friends. Ring doorbells and tell the person who answers that you 

are collecting wearable clothing for the "poor homeless victims of 

the recent tidal wave in Quianto a small village in Saudi Arabia." 

You get the pitch. Make it food and clothing, and say you're with a 

group called Heartline for Decency. A phony letter from a church 

might help here.</p>



<p align="left">The Salvation Army does this, and you can pick up clothes from 

them at very cheap prices. You can get a pair of snappy casual 

shoes for 25 cents in many bowling alleys by walking out with them 

on your feet. If you have to leave your shoes as a deposit, leave 

the most beat-up pair you can find.</p>



<p align="left">Notice if your friends have lost or gained weight. A big 

change means a lot of clothes doing nothing but taking up closet 

space. Show up at dormitories when college is over for the summer 

or winter season. Go to the train or bus stations and tell them you 

left your raincoat, gloves or umbrella when you came into town. 

They'll take you to a room with thousands of unclaimed items. Pick 

out what you like. While there, notice a neat suitcase or trunk and 

memorize the markings. Later a friend can claim the item. There 

will be loads of surprises in any suitcase. We have a close friend 

who inherited ten kilos of grass this way.</p>



<p align="left">Large laundry and dry cleaning chains usually have thousands 

of items that have gone unclaimed. Manufacturers also have shirts, 

dresses and suits for rockbottom prices because of a crooked seam 

or other fuck-up. Stores have reduced rates on display models: 

Mannequins are mostly all size 40 for men and 10 for women. Size 

7 1/2 is the standard display size for men's shoes. If you are 

these sizes, you can get top styles for less than half price.</p>



<a name="2.02.2">

<h4>

SANDALS

</h4>

</a>



<p align="left">The Vietnamese and people throughout the Third World make a 

fantastically durable and comfortable pair of sandals out of rubber 

tires. They cut out a section of the outer tire (trace around the 

outside of the foot with a piece of chalk) which when trimmed forms 

the sole. Next 6 slits re made in the sole so the rubber straps can 

be criss-crossed and slid through the slits. The straps are made 

out of inner tubing. No nails are needed. If you have wide feet, 

use the new wide tread low profiles. For hard going, try radials. 

For best satisfaction and quality, steal the tires off a pig car or 

a government limousine.</p>



<p align="left">Let's face it, if you really are into beating the clothing 

problem, move to a warm climate and run around naked. Skin is 

absolutely free, and will always be in style. Speaking of style, 

the midi and the maxi have obvious advantages when it comes to 

shoplifting and transporting weapons or bombs.</p>

FREE FURNITURE

</h4>

</a>



<p align="left">Apartment lobbies are good for all kinds of neat furniture. If 

you want to get fancy about it, rent a truck (not one that says 

U-HAUL-IT or other rental markings) and make the pick-up with 

moving-man-type uniforms. When schools are on strike and students 

hold seminars and debate into the night, Yippies can be found going 

through the dorm lobbies and storage closets hauling off couches, 

desks, printing supplies, typewriters, mimeos, etc. to store in 

secret underground nests. A nervy group of Yippies in the Midwest 

tried to swipe a giant IBM 360 computer while a school was in 

turmoil. All power to those that bring a wheelbarrow to sit-ins.</p>



<p align="left">Check into a high-class hotel or motel remembering to dress 

like the wallpaper. Carry a large dummy suitcase with you and 

register under a phony name. Make sure you and not the bellboy 

carry this bag. Use others as a decoy. When you get inside the 

room, grab everything you can stuff in the suitcase: radio, T.V. 

sets (even if it has a special plug you can cut it with a knife and 

replace the cord), blankets, toilet paper, glasses, towels, sheets, 

lamps, (forget the imitation Winslow Homer on the wall) a Bible, 

soap and toss rugs. Before you leave (odd hours are best) hang the 

DO NOT DISTURB sign on your doorknob. This will give you an extra 

few hours to beat it across the border or check into a new hotel.</p>



<p align="left">Landlords renovating buildings throw out stoves, tables, 

lamps, refrigerators and carpeting. In most cities, each area has a 

day designated for discarding bulk objects. Call the Sanitation 

Department and say you live in that part of town which would be 

putting out the most expensive shit and find out the pick-up day. 

Fantastic buys can be found cruising the streets late at night. 

Check out the backs of large department stores for floor models, 

window displays and slightly damaged furniture being discarded.</p>



<p align="left">Construction sites are a good source for building materials to 

construct furniture. (Not to mention explosives.) The large wooden 

cable spools make great tables. Cinderblocks, bricks and boards can 

quickly be turned into a sharp looking bookcase. Doors make tables. 

Nail kegs convert into stools or chairs. You can also always find a 

number of other supplies hanging around like wiring, pipes, 

lighting fixtures and hard hats. And don't forget those blinking 

signs and the red lanterns for your own light show. Those black 

oil-fed burners are O.K. for cooking, although smoky, and highway 

flares are swell for making fake dynamite bombs.</p>

<h4>

HITCH-HIKING

</h4>

</a>



<p align="left">Certainly one of the neatest ways of getting where you want to 

go for nothing is to hitch. In the city it's a real snap. Just 

position yourself at a busy intersection and ask the drivers for a 

lift when they stop for the red light. If you're hitching on a road 

where the traffic zooms by pretty fast, be sure to stand where the 

car will have room to safely pull off the road. Traveling long 

distances, even cross-country, can be easy if you have some sense 

of what you are doing.</p>



<p align="left">A lone hitch-hiker will do much better than two or more. A man 

and woman will do very well together. Single women are certain to 

get propositioned and possibly worse. Amerikan males have endless 

sexual fantasies about picking up a poor lonesome damsel in 

distress. Unless your karate and head are in top form, women should 

avoid hitching alone. Telling men you have V.D. might help in 

difficult situations.</p>



<p align="left">New England and the entire West Coast are the best sections 

for easy hitches. The South and Midwest can sometimes be a real 

hassle. Easy Rider and all that. The best season to hitch is in the 

summer. Daytime is much better than night. If you have to hitch at 

night, get under some type of illumination where you'll be seen.</p>



<p align="left">Hitch-hiking is legal in most states, but remember you always 

can get a "say-so" bust. A "say-so" arrest is to police what 

Catch-22 is to the Army. When you ask why you're under arrest, the 

pig answers, "cause I say-so." If you stand on the shoulder of the 

road, the pigs won't give you too bad a time. If you've got long 

hair, cops will often stop to play games. You can wear a hat with 

your hair tucked under to avoid hassles. However this might hurt 

your ability to get rides, since many straights will pick up 

hippies out of curiosity who would not pick up a straight scruffy 

looking kid. Freak drivers usually only pick up other freaks.</p>



<p align="left">Once in a while you hear stories of fines levied or even a few 

arrests for hitching (Flagstaff, Arizona is notorious), but even in 

the states where it is illegal, the law is rarely enforced. If 

you're stopped by the pigs, play dumb and they'll just tell you to 

move along. You can wait until they leave and then let your thumb 

hang out again.</p>



<p align="left">Hitchin on super highways is really far out. It's illegal but 

you won't get hassled if you hitch at the entrances. On a fucked-up 

exit, take your chances hitching right on the road, but keep a 

sharp eye out for porkers. When you get a ride be discriminating. 

Find out where the driver is headed. If you are at a good spot, 

don't take a ride under a hundred miles that won't end up in a 

location just as good. When the driver is headed to an 

out-of-the-way place, ask him to let you off where you can get the 

best rides. If he's going to a particularly small town, ask him to 

drive you to the other side of thy town line. It's usually only a 

mile or two. Small towns often enforce all sorts of "say-so" 

ordinances. If you get stuck on the wrong side of town, it would be 

wise to even hoof it through the place. Getting to a point on the 

road where the cars are inter-city rather than local traffic is 

always preferable.</p>



<p align="left">When you hit the road you should have a good idea of how to 

get where you are going. You can pick up a free map at any gas 

station. Long distance routes, road conditions, weather and all 

sorts of information can be gotten free by calling the American 

Automobile Association in any city. Say that you are a member 

driving to Phoenix, Arizona or wherever your destination is, and 

find out what you want to know. Always carry a sign indicating 

where you are going. If you get stranded on the road without one, 

ask in a diner or gas station for a piece of cardboard and a magic 

marker. Make the letters bold and fill them in so they can be seen 

by drivers from a distance. If your destination is a small town, 

the sign should indicate the state. For really long distances, EAST 

or WEST is best. Unless, of course, you're going north or south. A 

phony foreign flag sewed on your pack also helps.</p>



<p align="left">Carrying dope is not advisable, and although searching you is 

illegal, few pigs can read the Constitution. If you are carrying 

when the patrol car pulls up, tell them you are Kanadian and 

hitching through Amerika. Highway patrols are very uptight about 

promoting incidents with foreigners. The foreign bit goes over 

especially well with small-town types, and is also amazingly good 

for avoiding hassles with greasers. If you can't hack this one, 

tell them you are a reporter for a newspaper writing a feature 

story on hitching around the country. This story has averted many a 

bust.</p>



<p align="left">Don't be shy when you hitch. Go into diners and gas stations 

and ask people if they're heading East or to Texas. Sometimes gas 

station attendants will help. When in the car be friendly as hell. 

Offer to share the driving if you've got a license. If you're 

broke, you can usually bum a meal or a few bucks, maybe even a free 

night's lodging. Never be intimidated into giving money for a ride.</p>



<p align="left">As for what to carry when hitching, the advice is to travel 

light. The rule is to make up a pack of the absolute minimum, then 

cut that in half. Hitching is an art form as is all survival. 

Master it and you'll travel on a free trip forever.</p>

<h4>

FREIGHTING

</h4>

</a>



<p align="left">There is a way to hitch long distances that has certain 

advantages over letting your thumb hang out for hours on some 

two-laner. Learn about riding the trains and you'll always have 

that alternative. Hitchhiking at night can be impossible, but 

hopping a is easier at night than by day. By hitchhiking days and 

hopping freights and sleeping on them at night, you can cover 

incredible distances rapidly and stay well rested. Every city and 

most large towns have a freight yard. You can find it by following 

the tracks or asking where the freight yard is located.</p>



<p align="left">When you get to the yard, ask the workmen when the next train 

leaving in your direction will be pulling out. Unlike the phony 

Hollywood image, railroad men are nice to folks who drop by to grab 

a ride. Most yards don't have a guard or a "bull" as they are 

called. Even if they do, he is generally not around. If there is a 

bull around, the most he's going to do is tell you it's private 

property and ask you to leave. There are exceptions to this rule, 

such as the notorious Lincoln, Nebraska, and Las Vegas, Nevada, but 

by asking you can find out. Even if he asks you to leave or throws 

you out, sneak back when your train is pulling out and jump aboard.</p>



<p align="left">After you've located the right train for your trip, hunt for 

an empty boxcar to ride. The men in the yards will generally point 

one out if you ask. Pig-sties, flat cars and coal cars are 

definitely third class due to exposure to the elements. Boxcars are 

by far the best. They are clean and the roof over your head helps 

in bad weather and cuts down the wind. Boxcars with a hydro-cushion 

suspension system used for carrying fragile cargo make for the 

smoothest ride. Unless you get one, you should be prepared for a 

pretty bumpy and noisy voyage.</p>



<p align="left">You should avoid cars with only one door open, because the pin 

may break, locking you in. A car with both doors open gives you one 

free chance. Pig-backs (trailers on flatcars) are generally 

considered unsafe. Most trains make a number of short hops, so if 

time is an important factor try to get on a "hot shot" express. A 

hot shot travels faster and has priority over other trains in 

crowded yards. You should favor a hot shot even if you have to wait 

an extra hour or two or more to get one going your way.</p>



<p align="left">If you're traveling at night, be sure to dress warmly. You can 

freeze your ass off. Trains might not offer the most comfortable 

ride, but they go through beautiful countryside that you'd never 

see from the highway or airway. There are no billboards, road 

signs, cops, Jack-in-the-Boxes, gas stations or other artifacts of 

honky culture. You'll get dirty on the trains so wear old clothes. 

Don't pass up this great way to travel cause some bullshit western 

scared you out of it.</p>



<a name="2.03.3">

<h4>

CARS

</h4>

</a>



<p align="left">If you know how to drive and want to travel long distances, 

the auto transportation agencies are a good deal. Look in the 

Yellow Pages under Automobile Transportation and Trucking or 

Driveway. Rules vary, but normally you must be over 21 and have a 

valid license. Call up and tell them when and where you want to go 

and they will let you know if they have a car available. They give 

you the car and a tank of gas free. You pay the rest. Go to pick up 

the car alone, then get some people to ride along and help with the 

driving and expenses. You can make New York to San Francisco for 

about eighty dollars in tolls and gas in four days without pushing. 

Usually you have the car for longer and can make a whole thing out 

of it. You must look straight when you go to the agency. This can 

be simply be done by wetting down your hair and shoving it under a 

cap.</p>



<p align="left">Another good way to travel cheaply is to find somebody who has 

a car and is going your way.  Usually underground newspapers list 

people who either want rides or riders. Another excellent place to 

find information is your local campus. Every campus has a bulletin 

board for rides. Head shops and other community-minded stores have 

notices up on the wall.</p>



Gas



<p align="left">If you have a car and need some gas late at night you can get 

a quart and then some by emptying the hoses from the pumps into 

your tank. There is always a fair amount of surplus gas left when 

the pumps are shut off.</p>



<p align="left">If your traveling in a car and don't have enough money for gas 

and tolls, stop at the bus station and see if anybody wants a lift. 

If you find someone, explain your money situation and make a deal 

with him. Hitch-hikers also can be asked to chip in on the gas.</p>



<p align="left">You can carry a piece of tubing in the trunk of your car and 

when the gas indicator gets low, pull up to a nice looking Cadillac 

on some dark street and syphon off some of his gas. Just park your 

car so the gas tank is next to the Caddy's, or use a large can. 

Stick the hose into his tank, suck up enough to get things flowing, 

and stick the other end into your tank. Having a lower level of 

liquid, you tank will draw gas until you and the Caddy are equal. 

"To each according to his need, from each according to his 

ability," wrote Marx. Bet you hadn't realized until now that the 

law of gravity affects economics.</p>



<p align="left">Another way is to park in a service station over their filler 

hole. Lift off one lid (like a small manhole cover), run down 

twenty feet of rubber tubing thru the hole you've cut in your 

floorboard, then turn on the electric pump which you have installed 

to feed into your gas tank. All they ever see is a parked car. This 

technique is especially rewarding when you have a bus.</p>



<a name="2.03.4">

<h4>

BUSES

</h4>

</a>



<p align="left">If you'd rather leave the driving and the paying to them, try 

swiping a ride on the bus. Here's a method that has worked well.  

Get a rough idea of where the bus has stopped before it arrived at 

your station. If you are not at the beginning or final stop on the 

route, wait until the bus you want pulls in and then out of the 

station. Make like the bus just pulled off without you while you 

went to the bathroom. If there is a station master, complain like 

crazy to him. Tell him you're going to sue the company if your 

luggage gets stolen. He'll put you on the next bus for free. If 

there is no station master, lay your sad tale on the next driver 

that comes along. If you know when the last bus left, just tell the 

driver you've been stranded there for eight hours and you left your 

kid sleeping on the other bus. Tell him you called ahead to the 

company and they said to grab the next bus and they would take care 

of it.</p>



<p align="left">The next method isn't totally free but close enough. It's 

called the hopper-bopper. Find a bus that makes a few stops before 

it gets to where you want to go. The more stops with people getting 

in our out the better. Buy a ticket for the short hop and stay on 

the bus until you end up at your destination. You must develop a 

whole style in order to pull this off because the driver has to 

forget you are connected with the ticket you gave him. Dress 

unobtrusively or make sure the driver hasn't seen your face. 

Pretend to be asleep when the short hop station is reached. If you 

get questioned, just act upset about sleeping through the stop you 

"really" want and ask if it's possible to get a ride back.</p>



<a name="2.03.5">

<h4>

AIRLINES

</h4>

</a>



<p align="left">Up and away, junior outlaws! If you really want to get where 

you're going in a hurry, don't forget skyjacker's paradise. Don't 

forget the airlines. They make an unbelievable amount of bread on 

their inflated prices, ruin the land with incredible amounts of 

polluting wastes and noise, and deliberately hold back aviation 

advances that would reduce prices and time of flight. We know two 

foolproof methods to fly free, but unfortunately we feel publishing 

them would cause the airlines to change their policy. The following 

methods have been talked about enough, so the time seems right to 

make them known to a larger circle of friends.</p>



<p align="left">A word should be said right off about stolen tickets. 

Literally millions of dollars worth of airline tickets are stolen 

each year. If you have good underworld contacts, you can get a 

ticket to anywhere you want at one-fourth the regular price. If you 

are charged more, you are getting a slight rooking. In any case, 

you can get a ticket for any flight or date and just trade it in. 

They are actually as good as cash, except that it takes 30 days to 

get a refund, and by then they might have traced the stolen 

tickets. If you can get a stolen ticket, exchange or use it as soon 

as possible, and always fly under a phony name. A stolen ticket for 

a trip around the world currently goes for one hundred and fifty 

dollars in New York.</p>



<p align="left">One successful scheme requires access to the mailbox of a 

person listed in the local phone book. Let's use the name Ron Davis 

as an example. A woman calls one of the airlines with a very 

efficient sounding rap such as: "Hello, this is Mr. Davis' 

secretary at Allied Chemical. He and his wife would like to fly to 

Chicago on Friday. Could you mail two first-class tickets to his 

home and bill us here at Allied?" Every major corporation probably 

has a Ron Davis, and the airlines rarely bother checking anyway. 

Order your tickets two days before you wish to travel, and pick 

them up at the mailbox or address you had them sent to. If you are 

uptight in the airport about the tickets, just go up to another 

airline and have the tickets exchanged.</p>



<p align="left">One gutsy way to hitch a free ride is to board the plane 

without a ticket. This is how it works. Locate the flight you want 

and rummage through a wastebasket until you find an envelope for 

that particular airline. Shuffle by the counter men (which is 

fairly easy if it's busy). When the boarding call is made, stand in 

line and get on the plane. Flash the empty envelope at the 

stewardess as you board the plane. Carry a number of packages as a 

decoy, so the stewardess won t ask you to open the envelope. If she 

does, which is rare, and sees you have no ticket, act surprised.  

"Oh my gosh, it must have fallen out in the wash room," will do 

fine. Run back down the ramp as if you're going to retrieve the 

ticket. Disappear and try later on a different airline. Nine out of 

ten revolutionaries say it's the only way to fly. This trick works 

only on airlines that don't use the boarding pass system.</p>



<p align="left">If you want to be covered completely, use the hopper-bopper 

method described in the section on Buses, with this added security 

precaution. Buy two tickets from different cashiers, or better 

still, one from an agent in town. Both will be on the same flight. 

Only one ticket will be under a phony name and for the short hop, 

white the ticket under your real name will be for your actual 

destination. At the boarding counter, present the short hop ticket. 

You will be given an envelope with a white receipt in it. Actually, 

the white receipt is the last leaf in your ticket. Once you are 

securely seated and aloft, take out the ticket with your name and 

final destination. Gently peel away everything but the white 

receipt. Place the still valid ticket back in your pocket. Now 

remove from the envelope and destroy the short hop receipt. In its 

place, put the receipt for the ticket you have in your pocket.</p>



<p align="left">When you land at the short hop airport, stay on the plane. 

Usually the stewardesses just ask you if you are remaining on the 

flight. If you have to, you can actually show her your authentic 

receipt. When you get to your destination, you merely put the 

receipt back on the bonafide ticket that you still have in your 

pocket. It isn't necessary that they be glued together. Present the 

ticket for a refund or exchange it for another ticket. This method 

works well even in foreign countries. You can actually fly around 

the world for $88.00 using the hopper-bopper method and switching 

receipts.</p>



<p align="left">If you can't hack these shucks you should at least get a Youth 

Card and travel for half fare. If you are over twenty-two but still 

in your twenties, you can easily pass. Get a card from a friend who 

has similar color hair and eyes. Your friend can easily get one 

from another airline. You can master your friend's signature and 

get a supporting piece of identification from him to back up your 

youth card if you find it necessary. If you have a friend who works 

for an airline or travel agency, just get a card under your own 

name and an age below the limit. Your friend can validate the card. 

Flying youth fare is on stand-by, so it's always a good idea to 

call ahead and book a number of reservations under fictitious names 

on the flight you'll be taking. This will fuck up the booking of 

regular passengers and insure you a seat.</p>



<p align="left">By the way, if you fly cross-country a number of times, swipe 

one of the plug-in head sets. Always remember to pack it in your 

traveling bag. This way you'll save a two dollar fee charged for 

the in-flight movie. The headsets are interchangeable on all 

airlines.</p>



<p align="left">One way to fly free is to actually hitch a ride. Look for the 

private plane area located at every airport, usually in some remote 

part of the field. You can find it by noticing where the small 

planes without airline markings take off and land. Go over to the 

runways and ask around. Often the mechanics will let you know when 

someone is leaving for your destination and point out a pilot. Tell 

him you lost your ticket and have to get back to school. Single 

pilots often like to have a passenger along and it's a real gas 

flying in a small plane.</p>



<p align="left">Some foreign countries have special arrangements for free air 

travel to visiting writers, artists or reporters. Brazil and 

Argentina are two we know of for sure. Call or write the embassy of 

the country you wish to visit in Washington or their mission to the 

United Nations in New York. Writing works best, especially if you 

can cop some stationery from a newspaper or publishing house. Tell 

them you will be writing a feature story for some magazine on the 

tourist spots or handcrafts of the country. The embassy will 

arrange for you to travel gratis aboard one of their air force 

planes. The planes leave only from Washington and New York at 

unscheduled times. Once you have the O.K. letter from the embassy 

you're all set. This is definitely worth checking out if you want 

to vacation in a foreign country with all sorts of free bonuses 

thrown in.</p>



<p align="left">A one-way ride is easy if you want to get into skyjacking. 

Keep the piece or knife in your shoe to avoid possible detection 

with the "metal scanner," a long black tube that acts like a geiger 

counter. Or use a plastic knife or bomb. It's also advisable to 

wrap your dope in a non-metallic material. Avoid tinfoil.</p>



<p align="left">The crews have instructions to take you wherever you want to 

go even if they have to refuel, but watch out for air marshals. To 

avoid air marshals and searches pick an airline which flies short 

domestic hops. You should plan to end up in a country hostile to 

the United States or you'll end up right back where you came from 

in some sturdy handcuffs. One dude wanted to travel in style so he 

demanded $100,000 as a going-away gift. The airlines quickly paid 

off. The guy then got greedy and demanded a hundred million 

dollars. When he returned to pick up the extra pocket money, he got 

nabbed. None the less, skyjacking appears to be the cheapest, 

fastest way to get away from it all.</p>

<h4>

IN CITY TRAVEL

</h4>

</a>



<p align="left">Any of the public means of transportation can be ripped off 

easily. Get on the bus with a large bill and present it after the 

bus has left the stop. If the bus is crowded, slip in the back door 

when it opens to dispatch passengers.</p>



<p align="left">Two people can easily get through the turnstile in a subway on 

one token by doubling up. In some subway systems cards are given 

out to high school kids or senior citizens or employees of the 

city. The next time you are in a subway station notice people 

flashing cards to the man in the booth and entering through the 

"exit" door. Notice the color of the card used by people in your 

age group. Get a piece of colored paper in a stationery store or 

find some card of the same color you need. Put this "card" in a 

plastic window of your wallet and flash it in the same way those 

with a bona fide pass do.</p>



<p align="left">Before entering a turnstile, always test the swing bar. If 

someone during the day put in an extra token, it's still in the 

machine waiting for you to enter free.</p>



<p align="left">For every token and coin deposited in an automatic turnstile, 

there is a foreign coin the same size for much less that will work 

in the machine. (See the Yippie Currency Exchange, following, for 

more info.) Buy a cheap bag of assorted foreign coins from a dealer 

that you can locate in the Yellow Pages. Size up the coins with a 

token from your subway system. You can get any of these coins in 

bulk from a large dealer. Generally they are about l,000 for five 

dollars. Tell him you make jewelry out of them if he gets 

suspicious. Giving what almost amounts to free subway rides away is 

a communal act of love. The best outlaws in the world rip-off shit 

for a lot more people than just themselves. Robin Hood lives!</p>

<h3>

FREE LAND

</h3>

</a>



<p align="left">Despite what you may have heard, there is still some rural 

land left in Amerika. The only really free land is available in 

Alaska and remote barren areas of the western states. The latest 

information in this area is found in a periodic publication called 

Our Public Lands, available from the Superintendent of Documents, 

Washington, D.C. 20402. It costs $1.00 for a subscription. Also 

contact the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land 

Management, Washington, D.C. 20240 and ask for information on 

"homesteading." By the time this book is out though, the Secretary 

of the Interior's friends in the oil companies might have stolen 

all the available free land. Being an oil company is about the 

easiest way to steal millions. Never call it stealing though, 

always refer to it as "research and development."</p>



<p align="left">Continental United States has no good free land that we know 

of, but there are some very low prices in areas suited for country 

communities. Write to School of Living, Freeland, Maryland, for 

their newspaper Green Revolution with the latest information in 

this area. Canada has free land available, and the Canadian 

government will send you a free list if you write to the Department 

of Land and Forests, Parliament Building, Quebec City, Canada. Also 

write to the Geographical Branch, Department of Mines and Technical 

Surveys, Parliament Building, Quebec City, Canada. Correspondence 

can be carried out with the Communications Group, 2630 Point Grey 

Road, Vancouver 8, British Columbia, Canada, for advice on 

establishing a community in Canada. The islands off the coast of 

British Columbia, its western region and the area along the 

Kootenai River are among the best locations.</p>



<p align="left">If you just want to rip off some land, there are two ways to 

do it; openly or secretly. If you are going to do it out front, 

look around for a piece of land that's in dispute, which has its 

sovereignty in question-islands and deltas between the U.S. and 

Canada, or between the U.S. and Mexico, or any number of other 

borderline lands. You might even consider one of the abandoned 

oil-drilling platforms, which are fair game under high seas salvage 

laws. The possibilities are endless.</p>



<p align="left">If you intend to do it quietly, you will want a completely 

different type of location. Find a rugged area with lots of elbow 

room and plenty of places to hide, like the Rocky Mountains, 

Florida swamps, Death Valley, or New York City. Put together a 

tight band of guerrillas and do your thing. With luck you will last 

forever.</p>



<p align="left">If you just want to camp out or try some hermit living in the 

plushest surroundings available, you'll do best to head for one of 

the national parks. Since the parks are federal property, there's 

very little the local fuzz can do about you, and the forest rangers 

are generally the live-and-let-live types, although there have been 

increasing reports of long-hairs being vamped on by Smokey the Pig, 

as in Yosemite. You can get a complete list from National Park 

Service, Department of the Interior, Washington, D.C. 20240. The 

following is a list of some good ones:</p>

<p align="left">*This summer Yosemite forest rangers tried to evict a group of 

Yippies from their encampment. The Yippies rioted in the valley, 

spooked the tourists, burned cars and fought for their right to 

stay.</p>



<p align="left">Earth People's Park is an endeavor to purchase land and allow 

people to come and live for free. They function as a clearing house 

for people that want to donate land and those who wish to settle. 

They own 600 acres in northern Vermont and are trying to raise 

money to buy more. Write to Earth People's Park, P.0. Box 313, 

1230 Grant Ave., San Francisco, California 94133.</p>



<p align="left">People's Parks are sprouting up all over as people reclaim the 

land being ripped off by universities, factories, and corrupt city 

planning agencies. The model is the People's Park struggle in 

Berkeley during the spring of 1969. The people fought to defend a 

barren parking lot they had turned into a community center with 

grass, swings, free-form sculpture and gardens. The University of 

California, with the aid of Ronald Reagan and the Berkeley storm 

troopers, fought with guns, clubs and tear gas to regain the land 

from the outlaw people. The pigs killed James Rector and won an 

empty victory. For now the park is fenced off, tarred over and 

converted into unused basketball courts and unused parking lots. 

Not one person has violated the oath never to set foot on the site. 

It stands, cold and empty, two blocks north of crowded Telegraph 

Avenue. If the revolution does not survive, all the land will 

perish under the steam roller of imperialism. People's Death Valley 

will happen in our lifetime.</p>

<h3>

FREE HOUSING

</h3>

</a>



<p align="left">If you are in a city without a place to stay, ask the first 

group of hip-looking folks where you can crash. You might try the 

office of the local underground newspaper. In any hip community, 

the underground newspaper is generally the source of the best 

up-to-the-moment information. But remember that they are very busy, 

and don't impose on them. Many churches now have runaway houses. If 

you are under sixteen and can hack some bullshit jive about 

"adjusting," "opening a dialogue," and "things aren't that bad," 

then these are the best deals for free room and board. Check out 

the ground rules first, i.e., length of stay allowed, if they 

inform your parents or police, facilities and services available. 

Almost always they can be accepted at their word, which is 

something very sacred to missionaries. If they became known as 

double-crossers, the programs would be finished.</p>



<p align="left">Some hip communities have crash pads set up, but these rarely 

last more than a few months. To give out the addresses we have 

would be quite impractical. We have never run across a crash pad 

that lasted more than a month or so. If in a cit, try hustling a 

room at a college dorm. This is especially good in summer or on 

week-ends. If you have a sleeping bag, the parks are always good, 

as is "tar jungle" or sleeping on the roofs of tall buildings. 

Local folks will give you some good advice on what to watch out for 

and information on vagrancy laws which might help you avoid getting 

busted.</p>



<p align="left">For more permanent needs, squatting is not only free, it's a 

revolutionary act. If you stay quiet you can stay indefinitely. If 

you have community support you may last forever.</p>

<h4>

COMMUNES

</h4>

</a>



<p align="left">In the city or in the country, communes can be a cheap and 

enjoyable way of living. Although urban and rural communes face 

different physical environments, they share common group problems. 

The most important element in communal living is the people, for 

the commune will only make it if everyone is fairly compatible. A 

nucleus of 4 to 7 people is best and it is necessary that no member 

feels extremely hostile to any other member when the commune gets 

started. The idea that things will work out later is pig swill. 

More communes have busted up over incompatibility than any other 

single factor. People of similar interests and political 

philosophies should live together. One speed freak can wreck almost 

any group. There are just too many day-to-day hassles involved 

living in a commune to not start off compatible in as many ways as 

possible. The ideal arrangement is for the people to have known 

each other before they move in together.</p>



<p align="left">Once you have made the opening moves, evening meetings will 

occasionally be necessary to divide up the responsibilities and 

work out the unique problems of a communal family. Basically, there 

are two areas that have to be pretty well agreed upon if the 

commune is to survive. People's attitudes toward Politics, Sex, 

Drugs and Decision-making have to be in fairly close agreement. 

Then the even most important decisions about raising the rent, 

cleaning, cooking and maintenance will have to be made. Ground 

rules for inviting non-members should be worked out before the 

first time it happens, as this is a common cause for friction. 

Another increasingly important issue involves defense. Communes 

have continually been targets of attack by the more Neanderthal 

elements of the surrounding community. In Minneapolis for example, 

"headhunts" as they are called are commonplace. You should have 

full knowledge of the local gun laws and a collective defense 

should be worked out.</p>



<p align="left">Physical attacks are just one way of making war on communes 

and, hence, our Free Nation. Laws, cops, and courts are there to 

protect the power and the property of those that already got the 

shit. Police harassment, strict enforcement of health codes and 

fire regulations and the specially designed anti-commune laws being 

passed by town elders, should all be known and understood by the 

members of a commune before they even buy or rent property. On all 

these matters, you should seek out experienced members of communes 

already established in the vicinity you wish to settle. Work out 

mutual defense arrangements with nearby families-both legal and 

extralegal. Remember, not only do you have the right to 

self-defense, but it is your duty to our new Nation to erase the 

"Easy-Rider-take-any-shit" image which invites attack. Let them 

know you are willing to defend your way of living and your chances 

of survival will increase.</p>

<h4>

URBAN LIVING

</h4>

</a>



<p align="left">If you're headed for city living, the first thing you'll have 

to do is locate an apartment or loft, an increasingly difficult 

task. At certain times of the year, notably June and September, the 

competition is fierce because of students leaving or entering 

school. If you can avoid these two months, you'll have a better 

selection. A knowledge of your plans in advance can aid a great 

deal in finding an apartment, for the area can be scouted before 

you move in. Often, if you know of people leaving a desirable 

apartment, you can make arrangements with the landlord, and a 

deposit will hold the place. If you let them know you're willing to 

buy their furniture, people will be more willing to give you 

information about when they plan to move. Watch out for getting 

screwed on exorbitant furniture swindles by the previous tenants 

and excessive demands on the part of the landlords. In most cities, 

the landlord is not legally allowed to ask for more than one 

month's rent as security. Often the monthly rent itself is 

regulated by a city agency. A little checking on the local laws and 

a visit to the housing agency might prove well worth it.</p>



<p align="left">Don't go to a rental agency unless you are willing to pay an 

extra month's rent as a fee. Wanted ads in newspapers and bulletin 

boards located in community centers and supermarkets have some 

leads. Large universities have a service for finding good 

apartments for administrators, faculty and students, in that order. 

Call the university, say you have just been appointed to 

such-and-such position and you need housing in the area. They will 

want to know all your requirements and rent limitations, but often 

they have very good deals available, especially if you've appointed 

yourself to a high enough position.</p>



<p align="left">Aside from these, the best way is to scout a desired area and 

inquire about future apartments. Often landlords or rental agencies 

have control over a number of buildings in a given area. You can 

generally find a nameplate inside the hall of the building. Calling 

them directly will let you know of any apartments available.</p>



<p align="left">When you get an apartment, furnishing will be the next step. 

You can double your sleeping space by building bunk beds. Nail two 

by fours securely from ceiling to floor, about three feet from the 

walls, where the beds are desired. Then build a frame out of two by 

fours at a convenient height. Make sure you use nails or screws 

strong enough to support the weight of people sleeping or balling. 

Nail a sheet of 3/4 inch plywood on the frame. Mattresses and 

almost all furniture needed for your pal can be gotten free (see 

section on Free Furniture). Silverware can be copped at any 

self-service restaurant.</p>



<a name="2.05.3">

<h4>

RURAL LIVING

</h4>

</a>



<p align="left">If you are considering moving to the country, especially as a 

group, you are talking about farms and farmland. There are some 

farms for rent, and occasionally a family that has to be away for a 

year or two will let you live on their farm if you keep the place 

in repair. These can be found advertised in the back of various 

farming magazines and in the classified sections of newspapers, 

especially the Sunday editions. Generally speaking, however, if 

you're interested in a farm, you should be considering an outright 

purchase.</p>



<p align="left">First, you have to determine in what part of the country you 

want to live in terms of the climate you prefer and how far away 

from the major cities you wish to locate. The least populated 

states, such as Utah, Idaho, the Dakotas, Montana and the like, 

have the cheapest prices and the lowest tax rates. The more 

populated a state, and in turn, the closer to a city, the higher 

the commercial value of the land.</p>



<p align="left">There are hundreds of different types of farms, so the next 

set of questions you'll have to raise concerns the type of farm 

activity you'll want to engage in. Cattle farms are different than 

vegetable farms or orchards. Farms come in sizes: from half an acre 

to ranches larger than the state of Connecticut. They will run in 

price from $30 to $3000 an acre, with the most expensive being 

prime farmland in fertile river valleys located close to an urban 

area. The further away from the city and the further up a hill, the 

cheaper the land gets. It also gets woodier, rockier and steeper, 

which means less tillable land.</p>



<p align="left">If you are talking of living in a farm house and maybe having 

a small garden and some livestock for your own use, with perhaps a 

pond on the property, you are looking for what is called a 

recreational farm. When you buy a recreational farm, naturally you 

are interested in the house, barn, well, fences, chicken-coop, 

corrals, woodsheds and other physical structures on the property. 

Unless these are in unusually good condition or unique, they do not 

enter into the sale price as major factors. It is the land itself 

that is bought and sold.</p>



<p align="left">Farmland is measured in acreage; an acre being slightly more 

than 43,560 square feet. The total area is measured in 40-acre 

plots. Thus, if a farmer or a real estate agent says he has a plot 

of land down the road, he means a 40-acre farm. Farms are generally 

measured this way, with an average recreational farm being 160 

acres in size or an area covering about 1/2 square mile. A 

reasonable rate for recreational farmland 100 miles from a major 

city with good water and a livable house would be about $50 per 

acre. For a 160-acre farm, it would be $8,000, which is not an 

awful lot considering what you are getting. For an overall view, 

get the free catalogues and brochures provided by the United Farm 

Agency, 612 W. 47th St., Kansas City, Mo. 64112.</p>



<p align="left">Now that you have a rough idea of where and what type of farm 

you want, you can begin to get more specific. Check out the 

classified section in the Sunday newspaper of the largest city near 

your desired location. Get the phone book and call or write to real 

estate agencies in the vicinity. Unlike the city, where there is a 

sellers' market, rural estate agents collect their fee from the 

seller of the property, so you won't have to worry about the 

agent's fee.</p>



<p align="left">When you have narrowed down the choices, the next thing you'll 

want to look at is the plot book for the county. The plot book has 

all the farms in each township mapped out. lt also shows terrain 

variations, type of housing on the land, location of rivers, roads 

and a host of other pertinent information. Road accessibility, 

especially in the winter, is an important factor. If the farms 

bordering the one you have selected are abandoned or not in full 

use, then for all intents and purposes, you have more land than you 

are buying.</p>



<p align="left">After doing all this, you are prepared to go look at the farm 

itself. Notice the condition of the auxiliary roads leading to the 

house. You'll want an idea of what sections of the land are 

tillable. Make note of how many boulders you'll have to clear to do 

some planting. Also note how many trees there are and to what 

extent the brush has to be cut down. Be sure and have a good idea 

of the insect problems you can expect. Mosquitoes or flies can bug 

the shit out of you. Feel the soil where you plan to have a garden 

and see how rich it is. If there are fruit trees, check their 

condition. Taste the water. Find out if hunters or tourists come 

through the land. Examine the house. The most important things are 

the basement and the roof. In the basement examine the beams for 

dry rot and termites. See how long it will be before the roof must 

be replaced. Next check the heating system, the electrical wiring 

and the plumbing. Then you'll want to know about services such as 

schools, snow plowing, telephones, fire department and finally 

about your neighbors. If the house is beyond repair, you might 

still want the farm, especially if you are good at carpentry. 

Cabins, A-Frames, domes and tepees are all cheaply constructed with 

little experience. Get the materials from your nearest military 

installation.</p>



<p align="left">Finally, check out the secondary structures on the land to see 

how usable they are. If there is a pond, you'll want to see how 

deep it is for swimming. If there are streams, you'll want to know 

about the fishing possibilities; and if large wooded areas, the 

hunting.</p>



<p align="left">In negotiating the final sales agreement, you should employ a 

lawyer. You'll also want to check out the possibility of 

negotiating a bank loan for the farm. Don't forget that you have to 

pay taxes on the land, so inquire from the previous owner or agent 

as to the tax bill. Usually, you can count on paying about $50 

annually per 40-acre plot.</p>



<p align="left">Finally, check out the federal programs available in the area. 

If you can learn the ins and outs of the government programs, you 

can rip off plenty. The Feed-Grain Program of the Department of 

Agriculture pays you not to grow grain. The Cotton Subsidy Program 

pays you not to grow cotton. Also look into the Soil Bank Program 

of the United States Development Association and various Department 

of Forestry programs which pay you to plant trees. Between not 

planting cotton and planting trees, you should be able to manage.</p>

<h3>

FREE EDUCATION

</h3>

</a>



<p align="left">Usually when you ask somebody in college why they are there, 

they'll tell you it's to get an education. The truth of it is, they 

are there to get the degree so that they can get ahead in the rat 

race. Too many college radicals are two-timing punks. The only 

reason you should be in college is to destroy it. If there is stuff 

that you want to learn though, there is a way to get a college 

education absolutely free. Simply send away for the schedule of 

courses at the college of your choice. Make up the schedule you 

want and audit the classes. In smaller classes this might be a 

problem, but even then, if, the teacher is worth anything at all, 

he'll let you stay. In large classes, no one will ever object.</p>



<p align="left">If you need books for a course, write to the publisher 

claiming you are a lecturer at some school and considering using 

their book in your course. They will always send you free books.</p>



<p align="left">There are Free Universities springing up all over our new 

Nation. Anybody can teach any course. People sign up for the 

courses and sometimes pay a token registration fee. This money is 

used to publish a catalogue and pay the rent. If you're on welfare 

you don't have to pay. You can take as many or as few courses as 

you want. Classes are held everywhere: in the instructor's house, 

in the park, on the beach, at one of the student's houses or in 

liberated buildings. Free Universities offer courses ranging from 

Astrology to the Use of Firearms. The teaching is usually of 

excellent quality and you'll learn in a community-type atmosphere.</p>

<h3>

7. FREE MEDICAL CARE

</h3>

</a>



<p align="left">Due to the efforts of the Medical Committee for Human Rights, 

the Student Health Organization and other progressive elements 

among younger doctors and nurses. Free People's Clinics have been 

happening in every major city. They usually operate out of store 

fronts and are staffed with volunteer help. An average clinic can 

handle fifty patients a day.</p>



<p align="left">If you've had an accident or have an acute illness, even a bad 

cold, check into the emergency room of any hospital. Given them a 

sob story complete with phony name and address. After treatment 

they present you with a slip and direct you to the cashier. Just 

walk on by, as the song suggests. A good decoy is to ask for the 

washroom. After waiting there a few moments, split. If you're 

caught sneaking out, tell them you ran out of the house without 

your wallet. Ask them to bill you at your phony address. This 

billing procedure works in both hospital emergency rooms and 

clinics. You can keep going back for repeated visits up to three 

months before the cashier's office tells the doctor about your 

fractured payments.</p>



<p align="left">You can get speedy medical advice and avoid emergency room 

delays by calling the hospital, asking for the emergency unit and 

speaking directly to the doctor over the phone. Older doctors frown 

on this procedure since they cannot extort their usual exorbitant 

fee over the phone. Younger ones generally do not share this 

hang-up.</p>



<p align="left">Cities usually have free clinics for a variety of special 

ailments. Tuberculosis Clinics, Venereal Disease Clinics, and Free 

Shot Clinics (yellow fever, polio, tetanus, etc.) are some of the 

more common. A directory of these clinics and other free health 

services the local community provides can be obtained by writing 

your Chamber of Commerce or local Health Department.</p>



<p align="left">Most universities have clinics connected with their dental, 

optometry or other specialized medical schools. If not for free, 

then certainly for very low rates, you can get dental work 

repaired, eyeglasses fitted and treatment of other specific health 

needs.</p>



<p align="left">Free psychiatric treatment can often be gotten at the 

out-patient department of any mental hospital. Admission into these 

hospitals is free, but a real bummer. Use them as a last resort 

only. Some cities have a suicide prevention center and if you are 

desperate and need help, call them. Your best choice in a 

psychiatric emergency is to go to a large general hospital, find 

the emergency unit and ask to see the psychiatrist on duty.</p>



<a name="2.07.1">

<h4>

BIRTH CONTROL CLINICS

</h4>

</a>



<p align="left">Planned Parenthood and the Family Planning Association staff 

numerous free birth control clinics throughout the country. They 

provide such services as sex education, examinations, Pap smear and 

birth control information and devices. The devices include pills, a 

diaphragm, or IUD (intra-uterine device) which they will insert. If 

you are unmarried and under 18, you might have to talk to a social 

worker, but it's no sweat because anybody gets contraceptive 

devices that wants them. Call up and ask them to send you their 

booklets on the different methods of birth control available.</p>



<p align="left">If you would rather go to a private doctor, try to find out 

from a friend the name of a hip gynecologist, who is sympathetic to 

the fact that you're low on bread. Otherwise one visit could cost 

$25.00 or more.</p>



<p align="left">Before deciding on a contraceptive, you should be hip to some 

general information. There has been much research on the pill, and 

during the past 10 years it has proven its effectiveness, if not is 

safety. The two most famous name brands are Ortho-Novum and Envoid. 

They all require a doctor's prescription. Different type pills are 

accompanied by slightly different instructions, so read the 

directions carefully. In many women, the pills produce side effects 

such as weight increase, dizziness or nausea. Sometimes the pill 

affects your vision and more often your mood. Some women with 

specialized blood diseases are advised not to use them, but in 

general, women have little or no trouble. Different brand names 

have different hormonal balances (progesterone-estrogen). If you 

get uncomfortable side effects, insist that your doctor switch your 

brand. If you stop the pill method for any reason and don't want to 

get pregnant, be very careful to use another means right away.</p>



<p align="left">Another contraceptive device becoming more popular is the IUD, 

or the loop. It is a small plastic or stainless steel 

irregularly-shaped spring that the doctor inserts inside the 

opening of the uterus. The insertion is not without pain, but it's 

safe if done by a physician, and it's second only to the pill in 

prevention of pregnancy. Once it's in place, you can forget about 

it for a few years or until you wish to get pregnant. Doctors are 

reluctant to prescribe them for women who have not borne children 

or had an abortion, because of the intense pain that accompanies 

insertion. But if you can stand the pain associated with three to 

four uterine contractions, you should push the doctor for this 

method. Inserting it during the last day of your period will make 

it easier.</p>



<p align="left">The diaphragm is a round piece of flexible rubber about 2 

inches in diameter with a hard rubber rim on the outside. It used 

to be inserted just before the sex act, but hip doctors now 

recommend that it be worn continuously and taken out every few days 

for washing and also during the menstrual period. It is most 

effective when used with a sperm-killing jelly or cream. A doctor 

will fit you for a proper size diaphragm.</p>



<p align="left">The next best method is the foams that you insert twenty 

minutes before fucking. The best foams available are Delfen and 

Emko. They have the advantage of being nonprescription items so you 

can rush into any drug store and pick up a dispenser when the 

spirit moves you. Follow the directions carefully. Unfortunately, 

these foams taste terrible and are not available in flavors. It 

just shows you how far science has to go.</p>



<p align="left">Another device is the prophylactic, or rubber as it is called. 

This is the only device available to men. It is a thin rubber 

sheath that fits over the penis. Because they are subject to 

breaking and sliding off, their effectiveness is not super great. 

If you are forced to use them, the best available are lubricated 

sheepskins with a reservoir tip.</p>



<p align="left">The rhythm method or Vatican roulette as it is called by hip 

Catholics, is a waste unless you are ready to surround yourself 

with thermometers, graphs and charts. You also have to limit your 

fucking to prescribed days. Even with all these precautions, women 

have often gotten pregnant using the rhythm method.</p>



<p align="left">The oldest and least effective method is simply for the male 

to pull out just before he comes. There are billions of sperm cells 

in each ejaculation and only one is needed to fertilize the woman's 

egg and cause a pregnancy. Most of the sperm is in the first 

squirt, so you had better be quick if you employ this technique.</p>



<p align="left">If the woman misses her period she shouldn't panic. It might 

be delayed because of emotional reasons. Just wait two weeks before 

going to a doctor or clinic for a pregnancy test. When you go, be 

sure to bring your first morning urine specimen.</p>

<h4>

ABORTIONS

</h4>

</a>



<p align="left">The best way to find out about abortions is to contact your 

local woman's liberation organization through your underground 

newspaper or radio station. Some Family Planning Clinics and even 

some liberal churches set up abortions, but these might run as high 

as $700. Underground newspapers often have ads that read "Any girl 

in trouble call - -," or something similar. The usual rate for an 

abortion is about $500 and it's awful hard to bargain when you need 

one badly. Only go to a physician who is practicing or might have 

just lost his license. Forget the stereotype image of these doctors 

as they are performing a vital service. Friends who have had an 

abortion can usually recommend a good doctor and fill you in on 

what's going to happen.</p>



<p align="left">Abortions are very minor operations if done correctly. They 

can be done almost any time, but after three months, it's no longer 

so casual and more surgical skill is required. Start making plans 

as soon as you find out. The sooner the better, in terms of the 

operation.</p>



<p align="left">Get a pregnancy test at a clinic. If it is positive and you 

want an abortion, start that day to make plans. If you get negative 

results from the test and still miss your period, have a 

gynecologist perform an examination if you are still worried.</p>



<p align="left">If you cannot arrange an abortion through woman's liberation, 

Family Planning, a sympathetic clergyman or a friend who has had 

one, search out a liberal hospital and talk to one of their social 

workers. Almost all hospitals perform "therapeutic" abortions. Tell 

a sob story about the desertion of your boy friend or that you take 

LSD every day or that defects run in your family. Act mentally 

disturbed. If you qualify, you can get an abortion that will be 

free under Medicaid or other welfare medical plans. The safest form 

of abortion is the vacuum-curettage method, but not all doctors are 

hip to it. It is safer and quicker with less chance of 

complications than the old-fashioned scrape method.</p>



<p align="left">Many states have recently passed liberalized abortion laws, 

such as New York* (by far the most extensive), Hawaii and Maryland, 

due to the continuing pressure of radical women. The battle for 

abortion and certainly for free abortion is far from over even in 

the states with liberal laws. They are far too expensive for the 

ten to twenty minute minor operation involved and the red tape is 

horrendous. Free abortions must be look-on as a fundamental right, 

not a sneaky, messy trauma.</p>



<p align="left">*There is a residence requirement for New York but using a friend's 

New York address at the hospital will be good enough. The procedure 

takes only a few days and costs between $200 and $500, depending on 

the place. The best advice is to call one of the New York Abortion 

Referral Services or Birth Control Groups listed in the New York 

Directory section.</p>

<h4>

DISEASES TREATED FREE

</h4>

</a>



<p align="left">Syph and Clap (syphilis and gonorrhea) are two diseases that 

they are easy to pick up. They come from balling. Anyone who claims 

they got it from sitting on a toilet seat must have a fondness for 

weird positions.</p>



<p align="left">Both men and women are subject to the diseases. Using a 

prophylactic usually will prevent the spreading of venereal 

disease, but you should really seek to have it cured. Syphilis 

usually begins with an infection which may look like a cold sore or 

pimple around the sex organ. There is no pain associated with the 

lesions. Soon the sore disappears even without treatment. This is 

often followed by a period of rashes on the body (especially the 

palms of the hands) and inflammation of the mouth and throat. These 

symptoms also disappear without treatment. It must be understood, 

however, that even if these symptoms disappear, the disease still 

remains if left untreated. It can cause serious trouble such as 

heart disease, blindness, insanity and paralysis. Also, it can fuck 

up any kids you might produce and is easily passed on to anyone you 

ball.</p>



<p align="left">Gonorrhea (clap) is more common than syphilis. Its first signs 

are a discharge from your sex organ that is painful. Like syphilis, 

it affects both men and women, but is often unnoticed in women. 

There is usually itching and burning associated with the affected 

area. It can leave you sterile if left untreated.</p>



<p align="left">Both these venereal diseases can be treated in a short time 

with attention. Avail yourself of the free V.D. clinics in every 

town. Follow the doctor's instructions to the letter and try to let 

the other people you've had sexual contact with know you had VD.</p>



<p align="left">There are other fungus diseases that resemble syphilis or 

gonorrhea, but are relatively harmless. Check out every infection 

in your crotch area, especially those with open sores or an unusual 

discharge and you'll be safe.</p>



<p align="left">Crabs are not harmful, but they can make you scratch your 

crotch for hours on end. They are also highly transmittable by 

balling. Actually they are a form of body lice and easy to cure. Go 

to your local druggist and ask him for the best remedy available. 

He'll give you one of several lotions and instructions for proper 

use. We recommend Kwell.</p>



<p align="left">A common disease in the hip community is hepatitis. There are 

two kinds. One you get from sticking dirty needles in your arm 

(serum hepatitis) and the other more common strain from eating 

infected food or having intimate contact with an infected carrier 

(infectious hepatitis). The symptoms for both are identical; 

yellowish skin and eyes, dark piss and light crap, loss of appetite 

and total listlessness. Hep is a very dangerous disease that can 

cause a number of permanent conditions, including death, which is 

extremely permanent. It should be treated by a doctor, often in a 

hospital.</p>

<h3>

FREE COMMUNICATION

</h3>

</a>



<p align="left">If you don't like the news, why not go out and make your own? 

Creating free media depends to a large extent on your imagination 

and ability to follow through on ideas. The average Amerikan is 

exposed to over 1,600 commercials each day. Billboards, glossy ads 

and television spots make up much of the word environment they live 

in. To crack through the word mush means creating new forms of free 

communication. Advertisements for revolution are important in 

helping to educate and mold the milieu of people you wish to win 

over.</p>



<p align="left">Guerrilla theater events are always good news items and if 

done right, people will remember them forever. Throwing out money 

at the Stock Exchange or dumping soot on executives at Con Edison 

or blowing up the policeman statue in Chicago immediately conveys 

an easily understood message by using the technique of creative 

disruption. Recently to dramatize the illegal invasion of Cambodia, 

400 Yippies stormed across the Canadian border in an invasion of 

the United States. They threw paint on store windows and physically 

attacked residents of Blair, Washington. A group of Vietnam 

veterans marched in battle gear from Trenton to Valley Forge. Along 

the way they performed mock attacks on civilians the way they were 

trained to do in Southeast Asia.</p>



<p align="left">Dying all the outdoor fountains red and then sending a message 

to the newspaper explaining why you did it, dramatizes the idea 

that blood is being shed needlessly in imperialist wars. A special 

metallic bonding glue available from Eastman-Kodak will form a 

permanent bond in only 45 seconds. Gluing up locks of all the 

office buildings in your town is a great way to dramatize the fact 

that our brothers and sisters are being jailed all the time. Then, 

of course, there are always explosives which dramatically make your 

point and then some.</p>



<a name="2.08.1">

<h4>

PRESS CONFERENCES

</h4>

</a>



<p align="left">Another way of using the news to advertise the revolution and 

make propaganda is to call a press, conference. Get an appropriate 

place that has some relationship to the content of your message. 

Send out announcements to as many members of the press as you can. 

If you do not have a press list, you can make one up by looking 

through the Yellow Pages under Newspapers, Radio Stations, 

Television Stations, Magazines and Wire Services. Check out your 

list with other groups and pick up names of reporters who attend 

movement press conferences. Address a special invitation to them as 

well as one to their newspaper. Address the announcements to "City 

Desk" or "'News Department." Schedule the press conference for 

about 11:00 A.M. as this allows the reporters to file the story in 

time for the evening newscast or papers. On the day of the 

scheduled conference, call the important city desks or reporters 

about 9:00 A.M. and remind them to come.</p>



<p align="left">Everything about a successful press conference must be 

dramatic, from the announcements and phone calls to the statements 

themselves. Nothing creates a worse image than four or five men in 

business suits sitting behind a table and talking in a calm manner 

at a fashionable hotel. Constantly seek to have every detail of the 

press conference differ in style as well as content from the 

conferences of people in power. Make use of music and visual 

effects. Don't stiffen up before the press. Make the statement as 

short and to the point as possible. Don't read from notes, look 

directly into the camera. The usual television spot is one minute 

and twenty seconds. The cameras start buzzing on your opening 

statement and often run out of film before you finish. So make it 

brief and action packed. The question period should be even more 

dramatic. Use the questioner's first name when answering a 

question. This adds an air of informality and networks are more apt 

to use an answer directed personally to one of their newsmen. 

Express your emotional feelings. Be funny, get angry, be sad or 

ecstatic. If you cannot convey that you are deeply excited or 

troubled or outraged about what you are saying, how do you expect 

it of others who are watching a little image box in their living 

room? Remember, you are advertising a new way of life to people. 

Watch TV commercials. See how they are able to convey everything 

they need to be effective in such a short time and limited space. 

At the same tune you're mocking the shit they are pushing, steal 

their techniques.</p>



<p align="left">At rock concerts, during intermission or at the end of the 

performance, fight your way to the stage.</p>



COMMUNICATION



<p align="left">Announce that if the electricity is cut off the walls will be 

torn down. This galvanizes the audience and makes the owners of the 

hall the villains if they fuck around. Lay out a short exciting rap 

on what's coming down. Focus on a call around one action. Sometimes 

it might be good to engage rock groups in dialogues about their 

commitment to the revolution. Interrupting the concert is frowned 

upon since it is only spitting in the faces of the people you are 

trying to reach. Use the Culture as ocean to swim in. Treat it with 

care.</p>



<p align="left">Sandwich boards and hand-carried signs are effective 

advertisements. You can stand on a busy corner and hold up a sign 

saying "Apartment Needed," "Free Angela," "Smash the State" or 

other slogans. They can be written on dollar bills, envelopes that 

are being mailed and other items that are passed from person to 

person.</p>



<p align="left">Take a flashlight with a large face to movie theaters and 

other dark public gathering places. Cut the word "STRIKE" or 

"REVOLT" or "YIPPIE" out of dark cellophane. Paste the stencil over 

the flashlight, thus allowing you to project the word on a distant 

wall.</p>



<p align="left">There are a number of all night call-in shows that have  a 

huge audience. If you call with what the moderator considers 

"exciting controversy," he may give you a special number so you 

won't have to compete in the switchboard roller-derby. It often can 

take hours before you get through to these shows. Here's a trick 

that will help you out if the switchboard is jammed. The call-in 

shows have a series of hones so that when one is busy the next will 

take the call. Usually the numbers run in sequence. Say a station 

gives out PL 5-8640, as the number to call. That means it also uses 

PL 5-8641, PL 5-8642 and so on. If you get a busy signal, hang up 

and try calling PL S-8647 say.	This trick works in a variety of 

situations where you want to get a call through a busy switchboard. 

Remember it for airline and bus information.</p>

<h4>

WALL PAINTING

</h4>

</a>



<p align="left">One of the best forms of free communication is painting 

messages on a blank wall. The message must be short and bold. You 

want to be able to paint it on before the pigs come and yet have it 

large enough so that people can see it at a distance. Cans of spray 

paint that you can pick up at any hardware store work best. Pick 

spots that have lot of traffic. Exclamation points are good for 

emphasis. If you are writing the same message, make a stencil. You 

can make a stencil that says WAR and spray it on with white paint 

under the word "STOP" on stop signs. You can stencil a five-pointed 

star and using yellow paint, spray it on the dividing line between 

the red and blue on all post office boxes. This simulates the flag 

of the National Liberation Front of Vietnam. You can stencil a 

marijuana leaf and using green paint, spray it over cigarette and 

whisky billboards on buses and subways. The women's liberation sign 

with red paint is good for sexist ads.	Sometimes you will wish to 

exhibit great daring in your choice of locations. When the 

Vietnamese hero Nguyen Van Troi was executed, the Viet Cong put up 

a poster the next day on the exact spot inside the highest security 

prison in the country.</p>



<p align="left">Wall postering allows you to get more information before the 

public than a quickly scribbled slogan. Make sure the surface is 

smooth or finely porous. Smear the back of the poster with 

condensed milk, spread on with a brush, sponge, rag or your hands. 

Condensed milk dries very fast and hard. Also smear some on the 

front once the poster is up to give protection against the weather 

and busy fingers that like to pull at corners. Wallpaper pastes 

also work quickly and efficiently. It's best to work both painting 

and postering at night with a look-out. This way you can work the 

best spots without being harassed by the pig patrol, which is 

usually unappreciative of Great Art.</p>

<h4>

USE OF THE FLAG

</h4>

</a>



<p align="left">The generally agreed upon flag of our nation is black with a 

red, five pointed star behind a green marijuana leaf in the center. 

It is used by groups that understand the correct use of culture and 

symbolism in a revolutionary struggle. When displayed, it 

immediately increases the feelings of solidarity between our 

brothers and sisters. High school kids have had great fights over 

which flag to salute in school. A sign of any liberated zone is the 

flag being flown. Rock concerts and festivals have their generally 

apolitical character instantly changed when the flag is displayed. 

The political theoreticians who do not recognize the flag and the 

importance of the culture it represents are ostriches who are 

ignorant of basic human nature. Throughout history people have 

fought for religion, life-style, land, a flag (nation), because 

they were ordered to, for fortune, because they were attacked or 

for the hell of it. If you don't think the flag is important, ask 

the hardhats.</p>

<h4>

FREE TELEPHONES

</h4>

</a>



<p align="left">Ripping off the phone company is so common that Bell Telephone 

has a special security division that tries to stay just a little 

ahead of the average free-loader. Many great devices like the coat 

hanger release switch have been scrapped because of changes in the 

phone box. Even the credit card fake-out is doomed to oblivion as 

the company switches to more computerized techniques. ln our 

opinion, as long as there is a phone company, and as long as there 

are outlaws, nobody need ever pay for a call. In 1969 alone the 

phone company estimated that over 10 million dollars worth of free 

calls were placed from New York City. Nothing, however, compares 

with the rip-off of the people by the phone company. In that same 

year, American Telephone and Telegraph made a profit of 8.6 billion 

dollars! AT&T, like all public utilities, passes itself off as a 

service owned by the people, while in actuality nothing could be 

further from the truth. Only a small percentage of the public owns 

stock in these companies and a tiny elite clique makes all the 

policy decisions. Ripping-off the phone company is an act of 

revolutionary love, so help spread the word.</p>



<a name="2.08.6">

<h4>

PAY PHONES

</h4>

</a>



<p align="left">You can make a local 10 cent call for 2 cents by spitting on 

the pennies and dropping them in the nickel slot. As soon as they 

are about to hit the trigger mechanism, bang the coin-return 

button. Another way is to spin the pennies counter-clockwise into 

the nickel slot. Hold the penny in the slot with your finger and 

snap it spinning with a key or other flat object. Both systems take 

a certain knack, but once you've perfected the technique, you'll 

always have it in your survival kit.</p>



<p align="left">If two cents is too much, how about a call for 1 penny? Cut a 

1/4 strip off the telephone book cover. Insert the cardboard strip 

into the dime slot as far as it will go. Drop a penny in the nickel 

slot until it catches in the mechanism (spinning will help). Then 

slowly pull the strip out until you hear the dial tone.</p>



<p align="left">A number 14 brass washer with a small piece of scotch tape 

over one side of the hole will not only get a free call, but works 

in about any vending machine that takes dimes. You can get a box of 

thousands for about a dollar at any hardware store. You should 

always have a box around for phones, laundromats, parking meters 

and drink machines.</p>



<p align="left">Bend a bobby pin after removing the plastic from the tips and 

jab it down into the transmitter (mouthpiece). When it presses 

against the metal diaphragm, rub it on a metal wall or pipe to 

ground it. When you've made contact you'll hear the dial tone. If 

the phone uses old-fashioned rubber black tubing to enclose the 

wires running from the headset to the box, you can insert a metal 

tack through the tubing, wiggle it around a little until it makes 

contact with the bare wires and touch the tack to a nearby metal 

object for grounding.</p>



<p align="left">Put a dime in the phone, dial the operator and tell her you 

have ten cents credit. She'll return your dime and get your call 

for free. If she asks why, say you made a call on another pay 

phone, lost the money, and the operator told you to switch phones 

and call the credit operator.</p>



<p align="left">This same method works for long distance calls. Call the 

operator and find out the rate for your call. Hang up and call 

another operator telling her you just dialed San Francisco direct, 

got a wrong number and lost $.95 or whatever it is. She will get 

your call free of charge.</p>



<p align="left">If there are two pay phones next to each other, you can call 

long distance on one and put the coins in the other. When the 

operator cuts in and asks you to deposit money, drop the coins into 

the one you are not using, but hold the receiver up to the slots so 

the operator can hear the bells ring. When you've finished, you can 

simply press the return button on the phone with the coins in it 

and out they come. If you have a good tape recorder you can record 

the sounds of a quarter, dime and nickel going into a pay phone and 

play them for the operator in various combinations when she asks 

for the money. Turn the volume up as loud as you can get it.</p>



<p align="left">You can make a long distance call and charge it to a phone 

number. Simply tell the operator you want to bill the call to your 

home phone because you don't have the correct change. Tell her 

there is no one there now to verify the call, but you will be home 

in an hour and she can call you then if there is any question. Make 

sure the exchange goes with the area you say it does.</p>



<p align="left">Always have a number of made-up credit card numbers. The code 

letter for 1970 is S, then seven digits of the phone number and a 

three digit district number (not the same as area code). The 

district number should be under 599. Example: S-573-2100-421 or 

S-537-3402-035. Look up the phone numbers for your area by simply 

requesting a credit card for your home phone which is very easy to 

get and then using the last three numbers with another phone 

number. Usually making up exotic numbers from far away places will 

work quite well as it would be impossible for an operator to spot a 

phony number in the short time she has to check her list.</p>



<p align="left">We advise against making phony credit card calls on a home 

phone. We have seen a gadget that you install between the wall 

socket and the cord which not only allows you to receive all the 

calls you want for free, but eliminates the most common form of 

electronic bugging. They are being manufactured and sold for fifty 

dollars by a disgruntled telephone engineer in Massachusetts. 

Unfortunately you are going to have to find him on your own or 

duplicate his efforts, for he has sworn us to secrecy. If someone 

does, however, offer you such a device, it probably does work. Test 

it by installing it and having someone call you from a pay phone. 

If it's working, the person should get their dime back at the end 

of the call.</p>



<p align="left">Actually  if you know the slightest information about wiring, 

you can have your present phone disconnected on the excuse that 

you'll be leaving town for a few months and then connect the wires 

into the main trunk lines on your own. Extensions can easily be 

attached to your main line without the phone company knowing about 

it.</p>



<p align="left">You can make all the free long distance calls you want by 

calling your party collect at a pay phone. Just have your friend go 

to a prearranged phone booth at a prearranged time. This can be 

done on the spot by having the friend call you person to person. 

Say you're not in, but ask for the number calling you since you'll 

be "back" in five minutes. Once you get the number simply hang up, 

wait a moment and call back your friend collect. The call has to be 

out of the state to work, since operators are familiar with the 

special extension numbers assigned to pay phones for her area and 

possibly for nearby areas as well. If she asks you if it is a pay 

phone say no. If she finds out during the call (which rarely 

happens) and informs you of this, simply say you didn't expect the 

party to have a pay phone in his house and accept the charges. We 

have never heard of this happening though. The trick of calling 

person-to-person collect should always be used when calling long 

distance on home-to-home phones also. You can hear the voice of 

your friend saying that he'll be back in a few minutes. Simply hang 

up, wait a moment and call station to station, thereby getting a 

person-to-person call without the extra charges which can be 

considerable on a long call during business hours.</p>



<p align="left">If you plan to stay at your present address for only a few 

more months, stop paying the bill and call like crazy. After a 

month you get the regular bill which you avoid paying. Another 

month goes by and the next bill comes with last month's balance 

added to it. Shortly thereafter you get a note advising you that 

your service will be terminated in ten days if you don't pay the 

bill. Wait a few days and send them a five or ten dollar money 

order with a note saying you've had an accident and are pressed for 

funds because of large medical bills, but you'll send them the 

balance as soon as you are up and around again. That will hold them 

for another month. In all, you can stretch it out for four or five 

months with a variety of excuses and small payments. This also 

works with the gas and electric companies and with any department 

stores you conned into letting you charge.</p>



<p align="left">You can get the service deposit reduced to half of the normal 

rate if you are a student or have other special qualifications. 

Surprisingly, these rates and discounts vary from area to area, so 

check around before you go into the business office for your phone. 

There is an incredible 50 cents charge per month for not having 

your phone listed. If you want an unlisted phone, you can avoid 

this fee by having the phone listed in a fictitious name, even if 

the bill is sent to you. Just say you want your roommate's name 

listed instead of your own.</p>

names or tell them to mention your name at the box office. Not only 

will you get in free, but you can avoid waiting in line with this 

fake-out.</p>



<p align="left">In Los Angeles and New York, the studios hold pre-release 

screenings for all movies. If you know roughly when a movie is 

about to come out, call the publicity department of the studio 

producing the film and say you're the critic for a newspaper or 

magazine (give the name) and ask them when you can screen the film. 

They'll give you the time and place of various screenings. When you 

go, ask them to put you on their list and you'll get notices of all 

future screenings.</p>



<p align="left">One of our favorite ways to sneak into a theater with 

continuously running shows is the following. Arrive just as the 

show is emptying out and join the line leaving the theater. 

Exclaiming, "Oh, my gosh!" you slap your forehead, turn around and 

return, tell the usher you left your hat, pocketbook, etc. inside. 

Once you're inside the theater, just swipe some popcorn and wait 

for the next show.</p>

<h4>

RECORDS AND BOOKS

</h4>

</a>



<p align="left">If you have access to a few addresses, you can get all kinds 

of records and books from clubs on introductory offers. Since the 

cards you mail back are not signed there is no legal way you can be 

held for the bill. You get all sorts of threatening mail, which, by 

the way, also comes free.</p>



<p align="left">If you have a friend who is a member of a record club, ask him 

to submit your name as a free member. He gets 4 free records for 

getting you signed up. A soon as you get the letter saying how 

lucky you are to be a member, quit. Your friend's free records have 

already been shipped. We used to have at least 10 different names 

and addresses working on all the record and book companies. Every 

other day we would ride around collecting the big packages. To cap 

it off, we opened a credit account at a large department store and 

used to return most of the records and books to the store saying 

that they were gifts and we wanted something else. Since we had an 

account at the store, they always took the merchandise and gave 

credit for future purchases.</p>



<p align="left">You can always use the public libraries. Find out when they do 

their yearly housecleaning. Every library discards thousands of 

books on this day. Just show up and ask if you can take some.</p>



<p align="left">Almost anything you might want to know from plans for 

constructing a sundial to a complete blueprint for building a house 

may be obtained free from the Government Printing Office. Write: to 

Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing Office, Washington 

D.C. 20402. Most publication are free. Those that are not are dirt 

cheap. Ask to be put on the list to receive the free biweekly list 

of Selected U.S. Government Publications.</p>



<p align="left">One of the best ways to receive records and books free is to 

invest twenty dollars and print up some stationery with an artistic 

logo for some non-existent publication. Write to all the public 

relations departments of record companies, publishing houses, and 

movie studios. Say you are a newspaper with a large youth 

readership and have regular reviews of books, or records, or 

movies, and would like to be placed on their mailing list. Say that 

you would be glad to send them any reviews of their records that 

appear in the paper. That adds a note of authenticity to the 

letter. After a month or so you'll be receiving more records and 

books than you can use.</p>

FREE MONEY

</h3>

</a>



<p align="left">No book on survival should fail to give you some good tips on 

how to rip-off bread. Really horning in on this chapter will put 

you on Free-loader Street life, 'cause with all the money in 

Amerika, the only thing you'll have trouble getting is poor.</p>

<h4>

WELFARE

</h4>

</a>



<p align="left">It's easy to get on welfare that anyone who is broke and 

doesn't have a regular relief check coming in is nothing but a 

goddamn lazy bum! Each state has a different set up. The racist 

penny-pinchers of Mississippi dole out only $8.00 a month. New York 

dishes ont the most with monthly payments up to $120.00. The 

Amerikan Public Welfare Association publishes a book called The 

Public Welfare Directory with information on exactly what each 

welfare agency provides and how you go about qualifying. You can 

read the directory at any public library to find out all you can 

about how your local office operates.</p>



<p align="left">When you've discovered everything you need to know, head on 

down to the Welfare Department in your grubbiest clothes. Not 

sleeping the night before helps. The receptionist will assign an 

"intaker" to interview you. After a long wait, you'll be directed 

to a desk. The intaker raps to you for a while, generally showing 

sympathy for your plight and turns you over to the caseworker who 

will make the final and ultimate assessment.</p>



<p align="left">Have your heaviest story ready to ooze out. If you have no 

physical disabilities, lay down a "mentally deranged" rap. Getting 

medical papers saying you have any long-term illness or defect 

helps a lot. Tell the caseworker you get dizzy spells on the job 

and faint in the street. Keep bobbing your head, yawning, or 

scratching. Tell him that you have tried to commit suicide recently 

because you just can't make it in a world that has forgotten how to 

love. Don't lay it on too obviously. Wait till he "pries" some of 

the details from you. This makes the story even more convincing. 

Many welfare workers are young and hip. The image you are working 

on is that of a warm, sensitive kid victimized by brutal parents 

and a cold ruthless society. Tell them you held off coming for 

months because you wanted to maintain some self-respect even though 

have been walking the streets broke and hungry. If you are a woman 

tell him you were recently raped. In sexist Amerika, this will 

probably be true.</p>



<p align="left">After about an hour or so of this soap-opera stuff, you'll be 

ready to get your first check. From then on it's a monthly check, 

complete medical care for free and all sorts of other outasight 

benefits. Occasionally the caseworker will drop by your pad or ask 

you down to the office to see how you're coming along, but with 

your condition, things don't look so good. Don't abandon hope 

though. Hope always helps fill in a caseworker's report.</p>



<p align="left">The real trick is to parlay welfare payments in a few 

different states. Work out an exchange system with a buddy and mail 

each other the checks when they come in. If the caseworker comes 

by, your roommate can say you went to find a job or enrolled in a 

class. We know cats who have parlayed welfare payments up to six 

hundred dollars a month.</p>



<a name="2.10.2">

<h4>

UNEMPLOYMENT

</h4>

</a>



<p align="left">Every outlaw should learn everything there is to know about 

the rules governing unemployment insurance. As in the case of 

welfare rules, eligibility, and the size of payments differ from 

state to state. In New York, you are eligible for payments 

equivalent to half your weekly salary before taxes up to $65 per 

week, on the condition that you have worked for a minimum of twenty 

weeks during the year. Payments are somewhat lower in most other 

states. In order to collect, you must show you are actively 

searching for a job and keep a record of employers you contact. 

This can easily be fudged. Every time you're questioned about it, 

mention one or two companies. If your hair is long, you'll have no 

problem. Just say they won't hire you until you get a haircut. When 

this is the case, the unemployment office cannot cut off your 

payments or your hair. They also cannot make you accept a job you 

do not want. Tell them any job offer you get is not challenging 

enough for your talents. Unemployment can be collected for six 

months before payments are terminated. Twenty more weeks of slavery 

and you can go back to maintaining your dignity in the unemployment 

line. These job insurance payments cannot be taxed and since you 

are working so few weeks out of each year, your taxable income is 

at a minimum. Read all the fine print for tax form 1040 and 

discover all the deductible loopholes available to you. You should 

wind up paying no taxes at all or having all the taxes that were 

deducted from your pay reimbursed. Never turn over to the pig 

government any funds you can rip off. Remember, it isn't your 

government, so why submit to its taxation if you feel you do not 

have representation.</p>

<h4>

PANHANDLING

</h4>

</a>



<p align="left">The practice of going up to folks and bumming money is a basic 

hustling art. If you are successful at panhandling, you'll be able 

to master all the skills in the book and then some. To be good at 

it requires a complete knowledge of what motivates people. Even if 

we don't need the bread, we panhandle on the streets in the same 

way doctors go back to medical school. It helps us stay in shape. 

Panhandling is illegal throughout Pig Empire, but it's one of those 

laws that is rarely enforced unless they want to "clean the area" 

of hippies. If you're in a strange locale, ask a fellow panhandler 

what the best places to work are without risking a bust. Do it in 

front of supermarkets, theaters, sporting events, hip dress shops 

and restaurants. College cafeterias are very good hunting grounds.</p>



<p align="left">When you're hustling, be assertive. Don't lean against the 

wall with your palm out mumbling "Spare some change?" Go up to 

people and stand directly in front of them so they have to look you 

in the eye and say no. Bum from guys with dates. Bum from motherly 

looking types. After a while you'll get a sense of the type of 

people you get results with.</p>



<p align="left">Theater can be real handy. The best actors get the most bread. 

Devising a street theater skit can help. A good prop is a charity 

canister. You can get them by going to the offices of a mainstream 

charity and signing up as a collector. Don't feel bad about ripping 

them off. Charities are the biggest swindle around. 80% or more of 

the funds raised by honky charities go to the organization itself. 

New fancy cars for the Red Cross, inflated salaries for the 

executives of the Cancer Fund, tax write-offs for Jerry Lewis. You 

get the picture. A good way to work this and keep your karma in 

shape is to turn over half to a revolutionary groups such as your 

local underground. Remember, fugitives from injustice depend on you 

to survive. Be a responsible member of our nation. Support the only 

war we have going!</p>

<h4>

RIP-OFFS

</h4>

</a>



<p align="left">If you are closing out your checking account, overdraw your 

account by $10.00. The bank won't bother chasing you down for a 

lousy 10 bucks.</p>



<p align="left">Call the telephone operator from time to time and tell her you 

lost some change in a pay phone. They will mail you the cash.</p>



<p align="left">You can get $150 to $600 in advance by willing your body to a 

University medical school. They have you sign a lot of papers and 

put a tattoo on your foot. You can get the tattoo removed and sell 

your body to the folks across the street. The universities can be 

ripped off by enrolling, applying for a loan and bugging out after 

the loan comes through. This is a lot easier than you might imagine 

and you can hit them for up to $2,500 with a good enough story.</p>



<p align="left">Put a number 14 brass washer in a newspaper vending machine 

and take out all the papers. Stand around the corner or go into the 

local bar and sell them. You often get tipped. Don't do this with 

underground papers. Remember they're your brothers and sisters.</p>



<p align="left">The airlines will give you $250 for each piece of luggage you 

lose when flying. The following is a good way to lose your luggage. 

When you get off a plane, have a friend meet you at the gate. Give 

him your luggage claim stubs and arrange to meet at a washroom or 

restaurant. Your friend picks up the bags and takes them out of the 

baggage room. Before he leaves the airport, he turns over the stubs 

to you at your prearranged rendezvous. You casually wander over to 

the baggage department and search for your elusive luggage. When 

all the baggage has been claimed, file a complaint with the lost 

and found department. They'll have you fill out a form, explain 

that it probably got misplaced on another carrier and promise to 

send it to you as soon as it is located. In a month you'll receive 

a check for $250 per bag. Enjoy your flight.</p>

<h4>

THE INTERNATIONAL YIPPIE CURRENCY EXCHANGE

</h4>

</a>



<p align="left">Every time you drop a coin into a slot, you are losing money 

needlessly. There is at least one foreign coin that is the same 

size or close enough that will do the trick for less than a penny. 

The following are some of the foreign currencies that will get you 

that Coke, call or subway ride.</p>



<b>Quarter Size Coins</b>

<ul>

<li>URUGUAYAN 10 CENTISIMO PIECE

    <ul>

    <li>works in many soda and candy machines, 

older telephones (3 slot types), toll machines, laundromats, 

parking meters, stamp machines, and restroom novelty machines. 

Works also in some electric cancerette machines but not most 

mechanical machines.

    </ul>

<li>DANISH 5 ORE PIECE

    <ul>

    <li>works in 3 slot telephones, toll machines, 

laundromats, automats, some stamp machines, most novelty machines, 

and the Boston Subway. Does not work in soda or cancerette 

machines.

    </ul>

<li>PERUVIAN 20 CENTAVO PIECES

    <ul>

    <li>works in new (one slot) telephone and 

some electric cancerette machines, but does not work as many places 

in the Uruguay, Danish and Peruvian coins.

    </ul>

<li>ICELANDIC 5 AURAN PIECE

    <ul>

    <li>most effective quarter in the world, even 

works in change machines. Unfortunately, this coin is practically 

impossible to get outside of Iceland and even there, it is becoming 

difficult since the government is attempting to remove it from 

circulation.

    </ul>

</ul>



<b>Dime Size Coins</b>

<ul>

<li>MALAYSIAN PENNY

    <ul>

    <li>generally works in all dime slots, including old 

and new telephones, candy machines, soda machines, electric 

machines, stamp machines, parking meters, photocopy machines, and 

pay toilets. Does not work in some newer stamp dispensers, and some 

mechanical cancerette machines.

    </ul>

<li>TRINIDAD PENNY

    <ul>

    <li>generally works the same as Malaysian Penny.

    </ul>

</ul>



<b>New York Subway Tokens</b>

<ul>

<li>DANISH 25 ORE PIECE

    <ul>

    <li>works in 95% of all subway turnstiles. A very 

safe coin to use since it will not jam the turnstile. It is 

5/l000th of an inch bigger than a token.

    </ul>

<li>PORTUGUESE 50 CENTAVO PIECE

    <ul>

    <li>the average Portuguese Centavo Piece is 

2/1000th of an inch smaller than a token.

    </ul>

<li>JAMAICAN HALF PENNY, BAHAMA PENNY and AUSTRALIAN SCHILLING

    <ul>

    <li>these coins are 12/l000th to 15/1000th of an inch smaller than token. 

They work in about 80% of all turnstiles. We have also had good 

success with FRENCH l FRANC PIECE (WWII issue), SPANISH l0 CENTAVO 

PIECE NICARAGUAN 25 CENTAVO PIECE.

    </ul>

</ul>



<p align="left">All of the coins listed have a currency value of a few cents, 

with most less than one penny. Foreign coins work more regularly 

than slugs and are non-magnetic, hence cannot be detected by "slug 

detector machines." Also unlike slugs, although they are illegal to 

use in machines, they are perfectly legal to possess and exchange.</p>



<p align="left">Large coin dealers and currency exchanges are generally 

uptight about handling cheap foreign coins in quantity since they 

don't make much profit and are subject to certain pressures in 

selling coins that are the same size as Amerikan coins or tokens.</p>



<p align="left">People planning trips to European or South American countries 

should bring back rolls of coins as souvenirs or for use in "coin 

jewelry."</p>



<p align="left">If you do not plan to travel, a small coin store which is cool 

about selling to the public is located on the Lower East Side at 

191 East Third Street, New York City. When their phone works, the 

number is 475-9897.</p>



<p align="left">Washers are the most popular types of slugs. You can go to any 

hardware store and match them up with various coins. Sometimes you 

might have to put a small piece of scotch tape over one side of the 

hole to make it more effective. Each washer is identified by its 

material and number, i.e. No. 14 brass washer with scotch tape on 

one side is a perfect dime. When you get the ones you want, you can 

buy thousands for next to nothing (especially at industrial supply 

stores) and pass them out to our friends.</p>



<p align="left">Xerox copies of both sides of a dollar bill, carefully glued 

together, work in most machines that give you change for a dollar. 

Excuse us, there is a knock at the door. . .Fancy that! It's the 

Treasury Department. Wonder what they want?</p>

FREE DOPE

</h3>

</a>



<a name="2.11.1">

<h4>

BUYING, SELLING AND GIVING IT AWAY

</h4>

</a>



<p align="left">As you probably know, most dope is illegal, therefore some 

risks are always involved in buying and selling. "Eternal vigilance 

and constant mobility are the passwords of survival," said Che 

Guevara, and nowhere do they apply more than in the world of dope. 

If you ever have the slightest doubt about the person with whom 

you're dealing-DON'T.</p>



Buying



<p align="left">In the purchasing of dope, arrests are not a problem unless 

you're the fall guy for a bust on the dealer. The major hazard is 

getting burned. Buy from a friend or a reputable dealer. If you 

have to do business with a stranger, be extra careful. Never front 

money. One of the burn artist's tricks is to take your money, tell 

you to wait and split with your dough. There are various side show 

gimmicks each burn artist works. The most common is to ask you to 

walk with them a few blocks and then stop in front of an apartment 

building. He then tells you the dope is upstairs and asks you to 

hand over the money in advance. He explains that his partner is the 

real uptight 'cause they were raided once and won't let anybody in 

the pad. He takes your dough and disappears inside the building. 

Out the back door or up to the roof and into his getaway 

helicopter. You are left on the sidewalk with anxious eyes and that 

"can this really be happening to me" feeling.</p>



<p align="left">Another burn method is to substitute oregano, parsley or 

catnip for pot, camel shit for hash, saccharin or plain pills for 

acid. If you got burned for heroin or speed, you're better off 

being taken, because these are body-fuck drugs that can mess you up 

badly. The people that deal them are total pigs and should be 

regarded as such.  When you're buying from strangers, you have a 

right to sample the merchandise free unless it's coke. Check the 

weight of grass with a small pocket scale. Feel the texture and 

check out how well it has been cleaned of seeds and twigs. Smoke a 

joint that is rolled from the stuff you get. Don't accept the 

dealer's sample that he pulled out of his pocket. When you are 

buying a large amount of acid, pick a sample. You should never buy 

acid from a stranger as it is too easy a burn.</p>



<p align="left">If you buy cocaine, bring along a black light. Only the 

imparities glow under its fluorescence, thus giving you an idea of 

the quality of the coke. Make sure it's the real thing. Sniffing 

coke can perforate your nasal passages, so be super moderate. Too 

much will kill you. A little bit goes a long way.</p>



Selling



<p align="left">Dealing, although dangerous, is a tax-free way of surviving 

even though it borders on work. The best way to start is to save up 

a little bread and buy a larger quantity than you usually get. Then 

deal out smaller amounts to your friends. The fewer strangers you 

deal with, the safer you are. The price of dope varies with the 

amount of stuff on the market in your area, the heat the narks are 

bringing down and the connections you have. A rough scale, say, for 

pot is $20 an ounce, $125 a pound and $230 a kilo (2.2 pounds). The 

price per ounce decreases depending on the amount you get. It's 

true you make more profit selling by the ounces, but the hassle is 

greater and the more contacts you must make increases the risk. 

Screwing your customers will prove to be bad karma (unless you 

consider dying groovy), so stick to honest dealing. Never deal from 

your pad and avoid keeping your stash there. Get into searching out 

the best markets which are generally in California, given its close 

proximity to good ol' Mexico. Kansas is a big distribution center 

for Mexican grass, too. You can ship the stuff (safer than 

carrying) via air freight anywhere in the country for about $30 a 

trunk. Keep the sending and receiving end looking straight. We have 

one friend who wears a priest's outfit to ship and receive dope. In 

fact, every time we see nuns or priests on the street, we assume 

they're outlaws just on their way to the next deal or bombing. For 

all we know, the church actually is nothing but a huge dope ring in 

drag. Anybody gotten high off communion wafers lately?</p>



<p align="left">When you talk about deals on the phone, be cool. Make 

references to theater tickets or subscriptions. Don't keep 

extensive notes on your activities and contacts. Use code names 

where you can. Never deal with two other people present. Only you 

and the buyer should be in the immediate vicinity. Narks make busts 

in pairs so one can be the arresting officer and the other can be a 

court witness. Dealing is a paradox of unloading a good amount of 

shit but not trying to move too fast; of making ne contacts but 

being careful of strangers; of dealing high quality and low prices; 

and of being simultaneously bold and cautious. If you get nabbed, 

get the best lawyer who specializes in dope busts. First offenders 

rarely end up serving time, but it's a different story for 

repeaters. Know how punitive the courts are and which judges and 

prosecutors can be bought off. Never deal in the month before an 

election. For complete information on how to avoid getting busted 

and what to do if busted, read The Drug Bust (listed in appendix).</p>



Giving It Away



<p align="left">Giving dope away can be a real mind-blower. Every dealer 

should submit to voluntary taxation by the new Nation. If you are a 

conscientious dealer, you should be willing and eager to give a 

good hunk of your stash away at special events or to groups into 

free distribution. You should also be able to give bread to bust 

trusts set up to bail out heads unable to get up the ransom money 

the whisky lush courts demand. Many groups have done huge mailings 

of joints to all sorts of people. A group in New York mailed 30,000 

to people in the phone book on one Valentine's Day. A group in 

Los Angeles placed over 2,000 joints in library books and then 

advised kids to smoke a book during National Library Week. Be cool 

about even giving stuff away since that counts as dealing in most 

states. John Sinclair, Chairman of the White Panther Party, is 

serving 9� to 10 years for giving away two joints.</p>

<h4>

GROW YOUR OWN

</h4>

</a>



<p align="left">Pot is a weed and as such grows in all climates under every 

kind of soil condition. We have seen acres and acres of grass 

growing in Kansas, Iowa and New Jersey. If you're not located next 

door to a large pot field growing in the wild, maybe you would have 

some success in growing your own. It's well worth it to try your 

potluck!</p>



<p align="left">The first thing is to start with a bunch of good-quality seeds 

from grass that you really dig. Select the largest seeds and place 

them between two heavy-duty napkins or ink blotters in a pan. Soak 

the napkins with water until completely saturated. Cover the top of 

the pan or place it in a dark closet for three days or until a 

sprout about a half inch long appears from most of the seeds.</p>



<p align="left">During this incubation period, you can prepare the seedling 

bed. Use a low wooden box such as a tomato flat and fill it with an 

inch of gravel. Fill the rest of the box with some soil mixed with 

a small amount of fertilizer. Moisten the soil until water seeps 

out the bottom of the box, then level the soil making a flat 

surface. With a pencil, punch holes two inches apart in straight 

rows. You can get about 2 dozen in a tomato flat.</p>



<p align="left">When the incubation period is over, take those seeds that have 

an adequate sprout and plant one in each hole. The sprout goes down 

and the seed part should be a little above ground. Tamp the soil 

firmly (do not pack) around each plant as you insert the sprouts.</p>



<p align="left">The seedlings should remain in their boxes in a sunny window 

until about mid-May. They should receive enough water during this 

period to keep the soil moist. By the time they are ready to go 

into the ground, the green plants should be about six to eight 

inches tall.</p>



<p align="left">If it is late winter or early spring and you have a plot of 

land that gets enough sun and is sheltered from nosy neighbors, you 

should definitely grow grass in the great outdoors.</p>



<p align="left">One idea is to plant sunflowers in your garden as these grow 

taller than the pot plants and camouflage them from view. The best 

idea is to find some little-used field and plant a section of it.</p>



<p align="left">Prepare the land the way you would for any garden vegetable. 

Dig up the ground with a pitchfork or heavy duty rake, removing 

rocks. Rake the plot level and punch holes in the soil about three 

inches deep and about two feet apart in the same way you did in the 

seedling boxes. Remove the young plants from the box, being careful 

not to disturb the roots and keeping as much soil intact as 

possible. Transplant each plant into one of the punched-out holes 

and firmly press the soil to hold it in place. When all the plants 

are in the ground, water the entire area. Tend them the way you 

would any other garden. They should reach a height of about six 

feet by the end of the summer and be ready to harvest.</p>



<p align="left">If you don't have access to a field, you can grow good stuff 

right in your own closet or garage using artificial lighting. 

Transplant the plants into larger wooden boxes or flower boxes. Be 

sure and cover the bottom of each box with a few inches of pebbles 

or broken pottery before you add the soil. This will insure proper 

drainage. Fertilize the soil according to the instructions on the 

box and punch out holes in much the same way you would do if you 

were growing outside. After the young plants have been transplanted 

and watered thoroughly, you will have to rig up a lighting system. 

Use blue light bulbs, which are available at hardware stores for 

the first thirty days. These insure a shorter, sturdier stalk. 

Leave the lights on 24 hours a day and place them about a foot 

above the tops of the plants. If the plants begin to feel brittle 

or turn yellow at the edges, then the temperature is too hot. Use 

less illumination or raise the height of the lamp if this occurs.</p>



<p align="left">After the first thirty days, change to red bulbs and cut down 

the lighting time to 16 hours a day. After a week, reduce the time 

to 14 hours and then on the third week to 12 hours. Maintain this 

lighting period until the plants flower. The female plants have a 

larger and heavier flower structure and the males are somewhat 

skimpy. The female plant produces the stronger grass and the 

choicest parts are the top leaves including the flowers.</p>



<p align="left">Inside or outside, the plants will be best if allowed to reach 

maturity, although they are smokeable at any point along the way. 

When you want to harvest the crop, wet the soil and pull out the 

entire plant. If you want to separate the top leaves from the rest, 

you can do so and make two qualities of grass. In any event, let 

the plants dry in the sun for two weeks until they are thoroughly 

dried out. If you want to hurry the drying process, you can do it 

in an oven using a very low heat for about twenty minutes. After 

you've completed the drying, you can "cure'" the grass by putting 

the plants in plastic bags and sprinkling drops of wine, rum or 

plain booze on them. This greatly increases the potency.</p>



<p align="left">There are two other ways that we know work to increase the 

potency of grass you grow or buy. One consists of digging a hole 

and burying a stash of grass wrapped in a plastic bag. A few months 

in the ground will produce a mouldy grass that is far fuckin' out. 

A quick method is to get a hunk of dry ice, put it in a metal 

container or box with a tight lid (taping the lid airtight helps), 

and sprinkling the grass on top. Allow it to sit tightly covered 

for about three days until all the dry ice evaporates.</p>

<h4>

PETS

</h4>

</a>



<p align="left">Your local ASPCA will give you a free dog, cat, bird or other 

pet. Have them inspect and inoculate the animal which they will do 

free of charge. You can get free or very cheap medical care for 

your pet at a school for veterinary medicine.</p>



<p align="left">Underground newspapers often carry a free-pets column in the 

back pages. Snakes can be caught in any wooded area and they make 

great pets. You can collect insects pretty easy. Ants are 

unbelievable to watch. You can make a simple 3/4 inch wide glass 

case about a foot high, fill it with sand and start an ant colony. 

A library book will tell you how to care for them.</p>



<p align="left">Every year the National Park Service gives away surplus elks 

in order to keep the herds under its jurisdiction from outgrowing 

the amount of available land for grazing. Write to: Superintendent, 

Yellowstone National Park, Yellowstone, Wyoming 83020. You must be 

prepared to pay the freight charges for shipping the animal and 

guarantee that you can provide enough grazing land to keep the big 

fellow happy.</p>



<p align="left">Under the same arrangement the government will send you a Free 

Buffalo. Write to: Office of Information, Department of the

National Tourist Agencies of various countries. Most are located 

between 42nd and 59th Streets on Fifth Ave. in New York City. You 

can find their addresses in the New York Yellow Pages under both 

National Tourist Agencies and Travel Agencies. There are over fifty 

of them. Prepare a form letter saying you are a high school 

geography teacher and would like some posters of the country to 

decorate your classroom. In a month you will be flooded with them. 

Airline companies also have colorful wall posters they send out 

free.</p>

<h4>

SECURITY

</h4>

</a>



<p align="left">For this trick you need some money to begin with. Deposit it 

in a bank and return in a few weeks telling them you lost your bank 

book. They give you a card to fill out and sign and in a week you 

will receive another book. Now withdraw your money, leaving you 

with original money and a bank book showing a balance. You can use 

this as identification to prevent vagrancy busts when traveling, as 

collateral for bail, or for opening a charge account at a store.</p>



<p align="left">Another trick is to buy some American Travelers Checks. Wait a 

week and report your checks lost. They'll give you new ones to 

replace the missing ones. You spend your new checks and keep the 

ones you reported lost as security. This security is great for 

international travel especially at border crossings. If you want, 

you can spend the Travelers Checks by giving them to a friend to 

forge your name. Before you call the office to report the loss, 

call the police station and say you were mugged and your wallet was 

stolen. The agency always asks if you have reported the lost checks 

to the police, so you can safely answer yes. Never do this for more 

than five hundred dollars and never more than once with any one 

company.</p>

<h4>

POSTAGE

</h4>

</a>



<p align="left">When mailing to the same city, address the envelope or package 

to yourself and put the name of the person you are sending it to 

where the return address generally goes. Mail it without postage 

and it will be "returned" to the sender. Because almost all letters 

are machine processed, any stamp that is the correct size will 

pass. Easter Seals and a variety of other type stamps usually get 

by the electronic scanner. If you put the stamp on a spot other 

than the far upper right corner, it will not be cancelled and can 

be used again by the person who gets your letter. If you have a 

friend working in a large corporation, you can run your 

organization's mail through their postage meter.</p>



<p align="left">Those ridiculous free introductory or subscription type 

letters that you get in the mail often have a postage-guaranteed 

return postcard for your convenience. The next one you get, paste 

it on a brick and drop it in the mailbox. The company is required 

by law to pay the postage. You can also get rid of all your garbage 

this way.</p>

<h4>

VACATIONS

</h4>

</a>



<p align="left">There are many ways to take a free vacation, but here's one 

you might not have considered. It's an all-expenses paid trip to 

Las Vegas for absolutely nothing. Call a travel agent and request 

information about Las Vegas gambling junkets (you'll probably have 

to hunt around because this practice is being curtailed). Different 

hotels have different deals, but the average one runs something 

like this: If you agree to buy $500 worth of chips that can only be 

spent on gambling tables of the host hotel, they will fly you round 

trip, pay all hotel and food bills and provide you with a rented 

car. Go with a close friend and check into the hotel. Once at the 

roulette or craps table, you and your friend bet the same amount of 

chips against each other on even-paying chances. For example, he 

would bet on red and you on black. When either of you wins, you 

keep the house chips; when you lose, turn in the specially marked 

chips that cannot be cashed in. What you are doing is simply 

exchanging the chips you came with for house chips that you can 

cash in for real dough. Theoretically your two vacations should 

cost $23.00 if you do the betting at the crap table and $52.00 if 

you bet even chances at roulette. That is because the house wins if 

0 or 00 comes up in roulette and if 12 comes up on the first roll 

of the dice, but it sure is a hell of a vacation for two for 

$23.00, and you get free champagne on some flights.</p>



<p align="left">You can get half a vacation free by going to the Amerikan 

Embassy or Consulate in the country you find yourself in and claim 

that you're destitute.	There is a law on the books that says they 

have to send you away, but be persistent. Make up a story about how 

your parents are away from home traveling. Say you got mugged or 

something and you are about to go to the newspapers with your 

story. Eventually they'll get you a free plane ticket. They stamp 

your passport invalid though, and you have to pay the government 

back before you can use it again.</p>

DRINKS

<p align="left">When hitching, it's a good idea to carry a bottle opener and a

<h4>

STARTING A PRINTING WORKSHOP

</h4>

</a>



<p align="left">Leaflets, posters, newsletters, pamphlets and other printed 

matter are important to any revolution. A printing workshop is a 

definite need in all communities, regardless of size. It can vary 

from a garage with a mimeograph machine to a mammoth operation 

complete with printing presses and fancy photo equipment. With less 

than a hundred dollars and some space, you can begin this vital 

service. It'll take a while before you get into printing 

greenbacks, phony identification papers and credit cards like the 

big boys, but to walk a mile you must start with one step as 

Gutenberg once said.</p>



Paper



<p align="left">The standard size for paper is 8�" x 11". It comes 500 sheets 

to a "ream" and 10 reams to a case. You want a 16-20 bond weight 

sheet. The higher weights are better if you are printing on both 

sides. You can purchase what are termed "odd lots" from most paper 

companies. This means that the colors will be assorted and some 

sheets will be frayed at the edges or wrinkled. Odd lots can be 

purchased at great discounts. Some places sell paper this way for 

10% of the original price and for leaflets, different colors help. 

Check this out with paper suppliers in your area.</p>



Ink



<p align="left">Inks come in pastes and liquids and are available in 

stationary stores and office supply houses. Each machine requires 

its own type ink, so learn what works best with the one you have. 

Colored ink is slightly more expensive but available for most 

machines.</p>



Stencils



<p align="left">Each machine uses a particular size and style stencil. If you 

get stuck with the wrong kind and can't get out to correct the 

mistake, you can punch extra holes in the top, trim them with a 

scissors if they are too big or add strips of tape to the sides if 

too narrow.</p>



<p align="left">Be sure and use only the area that will fit on the paper you 

are using. Most stencils can be used for paper larger than standard 

size. Stencils will "cut" a lot neater if an electric typewriter is 

used. If you only have access to e manual machine, remove the 

ribbon so the keys will strike the stencil directly. A plastic 

sheet, provided by the supplier, can be inserted between the 

stencil and its backing to provide sharper cuts by the keys. If you 

hold the stencil up to a light, you should be able to clearly see 

the typing. If you can't, you'll have to apply more pressure.</p>



<p align="left">Sketches can be done with a ball point pen or special stylus 

directly on the stencil. If you're really rushed, or there isn't 

that much info to get on the leaflet, you can hand-print the text 

using these instruments. Take care not to tear the stencil.</p>



Mimeograph Machines



<p align="left">The price of a new mimeograph runs from $200 to $1200, 

depending on how sophisticated a machine you need and can afford. 

A.B. Dick and Gestetner are the most popular brands. Many supply 

houses have used machines for sale. Check the classified section 

for bargains. See if any large corporations are moving, going out 

of business or have just had a fire. Chances are they'll be 

unloading printing equipment at cheap prices. Campaign offices of 

losing candidates often have mimeos to unload in November. Many 

supply houses have renting and leasing terms that you might be 

interested in considering. Have an idea of the work load and type 

of printing you'll be handling before you go hunting.  Talk to 

someone who knows what they're doing before you lay down a lot of 

cash on a machine.</p>



Duplicators



<p align="left">We prefer duplicators to mimeos even though the price is a 

little higher. They work faster, are easier to operate and print 

clearer leaflets. The Gestener Silk Screen Duplicator is the best 

bet. It turns out stuff almost as good as offset printing. You can 

do 10 thousand sheets an hour in an assortment of colors.</p>



Electronic Stencils



<p align="left">If you use electronic stencils you can do solid lettering, 

line drawings, cartoons and black and white pictures with good 

contrast. To make an electronic stencil, you map out on a sheet of 

paper everything you want printed. This is a photo process, so make 

sure only what you want printed shows up on the sheet. You can use 

a light blue pencil for guide lines as it won't photograph, but be 

neat anyway. Printing shops will cut a stencil on a special machine 

for about $3.00.</p>



<p align="left">The Gestefax Electronic Stencil Cutter can be leased or rented 

in the same way as the duplicator. If you are doing a lot of 

printing for a number of different groups, this machine will 

eliminate plenty of hassle. The stencils cost about 20� each and 

take about fifteen minutes to make.</p>



<p align="left">If you have an electronic stencil cutter, duplicator, electric 

typewriter and a cheap source of paper, you can do almost any 

printing job imaginable. Have a dual rate system: one for community 

groups and another for regular business orders. You can use the 

profits to go towards the purchasing of more equipment and to build 

toward the day when you can get your own offset press.</p>



Silk Screening



<p align="left">Posters banners and shirts that are unbelievable can be 

printed by this exciting method. The process is easy to learn and 

teach. You'll need a fairly large area to work in since the posters 

have to be hung up to dry. Pick up any inexpensive paperback book 

on silk screening. The equipment costs less than $50.00 to begin. 

Once you get good at it, you can print complicated designs in a 

number of different colors, including portraits.</p>

<h4>

UNDERGROUND NEWSPAPERS

</h4>

</a>



<p align="left">Food conspiracies, bust trusts, people's clinics and 

demonstrations are all part of the new Nation, but if asked to name 

the most important institution in our lives, one would have to say 

the underground newspaper. It keeps tuned in on what's going on in 

the community and around the world. Values, myths, symbols, and all 

the trappings of our culture are determined to a large extent by 

the underground press. Each office serves as a welcome mat for 

strangers, a meeting place for community organizers and a rallying 

force to fight pig repression. There are probably over 500 

regularly publishing with readerships running from a few hundred to 

over 500,000. Most were started in the last three years. If your 

scene doesn't have a paper, you probably don't have a scene 

together. A firmly established paper can be started on about 

$2,500. Plan to begin with eight pages in black and white with a 

5,000 copy run. Each such issue will cost about $300 to print. You 

should have six issues covered when you start. Another $700 will do 

for equipment. Offset printing is what you'll want to get from a 

commercial printing establishment.</p>



<p align="left">You need some space to start, but don't rush into setting up a 

storefront office until you feel the paper's going to be 

successful. A garage, barn or spare apartment room will do just 

fine. Good overhead fluorescent lighting, a few long tables, a 

bookcase, desk, chairs, possibly a phone and you are ready to 

start.</p>



<p align="left">Any typewriter will work, but you can rent an IBM Selectric 

typewriter with a deposit of $120.00 and payments of $20.00 per 

month. Leasing costs twice as much, but you'll own the machine when 

the payments are finished. The Selectric has interchangeable type 

that works on a ball system rather than the old-fashion keys. Each 

ball costs $18.00, so by getting a few you can vary the type the 

way a printer does.</p>



<p align="left">A light-table can make things a lot easier when it comes to 

layout. Simply build a box (3' x 4' is a good size, but the larger 

the better) out of �" plywood. The back should be higher than the 

front to provide a sloping effect. The top should consist of a 

shelf of frosted glass. Get one strong enough to lean on. Inside 

the box, attach two fluorescent light fixtures to the walls or 

base. The whole light table should cost less than $25.00. That 

really is about all you need, except someone with a camera, a few 

good writers who will serve as reporters, an artistic person to 

take care of layout, and someone to hassle printing deals, 

advertising and distribution. Most people start by having everyone 

do everything.</p>



Layout



<p align="left">A tabloid size paper is 9 7/8" x 14 5/8" with an inch left 

over on each side for margins. Columns typically are 3 1/4" 

allowing for three per page. Experience has found that this size is 

easy to lay out and more importantly, easy to read. There is an 

indirect ratio between readability and academic snobbishness. Avoid 

the textbook look. Remember, the New York Times in its low form 

represents the Death Kulture.</p>



<p align="left">Start off with a huge collection of old magazines and 

newspapers. You can cut up all sorts of letters, borders, designs 

and sketches and paste them together to make eye-catching 

headlines. Sheets of headline type are available in different 

styles from art stores for $1.25 a sheet. Buy one of each type and 

then photograph several copies of each, bringing the price way 

down. The basic content in the prescribed column size should be 

banged out on the IBM. The columns can be clipped together with a 

clothespin to avoid confusion. Use a good heavy bond white opaque 

paper.</p>



<p align="left">All black and white photographs from newspapers and magazines 

can be used directly. Color pictures can also be used but it's 

tricky and you'll have to experiment a little to get an 

understanding of what colors photograph poorly. Glossy black and 

white photographs must be shot in half tones to keep the grey 

areas. You can have them processed at any photo lab. You might also 

need the photo lab for enlargements or reductions, so make contact 

and establish a good working relationship.</p>



<p align="left">An Exacto knife is available for 29� and you can get a package 

of 100 blades for $10.00. A few metal rulers, a good pair of 

scissors, some spray adhesive or rubber cement and you're ready to 

paste the pages that will make up the "dummy" that goes to the 

printer. Each page is laid out on special layout sheets with faint 

blue guide lines that don't photograph. Any large art supply store 

sells these sheets and all the other supplies.</p>



<p align="left">By working over a light-table, the paste-up can be done more 

professionally. Experiment with many different layouts for each 

page before finally pasting up the paper. Don't have a picture in 

the corner and the rest solid columns. Print can be run over 

pictures and sketches by preparing two sheets for that page and 

shooting background in half-tones. The columns don't have to be run 

straight up and down, but can run at different angles. The most 

newsworthy articles should be towards the front of the paper.  The 

centerfold can be treated in an exciting manner. A good idea is to 

do the centerfold so that it can be used as a poster to put on a 

wall after the paper is read. If you have ads, they should be kept 

near the back. The masthead, which gives the staff, mailing 

address, and similar info, goes near the front. Your focus should 

be the local activities. A section should be reserved for a 

directly of local services and events. People giving things away 

should have a section. The rest really depends on the life style 

and politics of the staff.</p>



<p align="left">National stories can be supplied by one or more of the news 

services. Nothing in the underground press is copyrighted, so you 

can reprint an interesting article from another paper. It's 

customary to indicate what paper printed it first, or news service 

it was sent out by. Any underground paper has permission to reprint 

hunks of this book.</p>



Ads



<p align="left">Most papers find it necessary to get some advertising to help 

defray the production costs. Some rely totally on subscription; 

some are outgrowths of organizations and still others are printed 

up and just handed out free. The ones with ads seem to have the 

longest life. Make up an ad rate before you put out the first 

issue. Ads are measured in inches of length. The width is 

understood by everyone to be the width of the column. If you use 

the 3�" column, however, you'll want to let potential advertisers 

know you have wide columns.</p>



<p align="left">The way to arrive at a reasonable rate is to estimate the 

total budget for each issue (adding some for overhead and labor), 

then each page and finally each column inch. After a little 

arithmetic you can get a good estimate of your printing cost per 

inch. Using our figures throughout this section, it should come to 

about $2.00 per inch. Double this figure and you'll arrive at  the 

correct rate per advertising inch-$4.00. There should be special 

lower rates for large ads, such as half or full pages. There should 

also be a special arrangement for a continuous subscriber. If you 

have a classified section, another rate based on number of words or 

lines is constructed. A service charge is fixed if you make up the 

ad layout rather than the advertiser. The whole formula should be 

worked out and printed up before you lay out the first issue.</p>



<p align="left">The best place to get advertising is locally. Theaters, hip 

clothing stores, ice cream parlors, and record stores are among the 

type of advertisers you should approach. After you build up a 

circulation, you might want to seek out national advertisers. The 

Underground Press Syndicate, Box 26, Village Station, New York, NY 

10014, can be joined for $25.00, no dues thereafter. They try to 

get national ads for you in addition to sending out a newsletter, a 

news service, and making sure you get free subscriptions to the 

other underground papers. The U.P.S. can also do many other things 

for you, like list you in their directory, obtain legal advice, and 

bring you together with other underground papers for mutual benefit 

and defense. Another way to get national advertising is to see who 

tends to advertise in other underground papers. Send the publicity 

department of these companies letters and samples of your paper. 

Never let ads make up more than half the paper.</p>



Distribution



<p align="left">At the beginning you should aim for a bi-weekly paper with a 

gradual increase in the number of pages. The price should be about 

25�. Check out the local laws about selling papers on the street. 

It's probably allowed and is a neat way to get the paper around. 

Give half to the street hawkers. Representatives at high schools 

and colleges should be sought out. Bookstores and newsstands are 

good places to distribute. After your paper gets going well, you 

might try for national distribution. The Cosmep Newsletter is put 

out by the Committee of Small Magazines, Editors and Publishers, PO 

Box 1425, Buffalo, NY 14214. In addition to good tips if you want 

to start a small literary magazine or publish your own book, they 

provide an up-to-date list of small stores around the country that 

would be likely to carry your paper. Subscriptions should be sought 

in the paper itself. If you get a lot, check out second class 

mailing privileges. UPS can help with out-of-city distribution.</p>



<p align="left">If you're in a smaller town, you might have to shop around or 

go to another city to get printing done. Many printers print only 

pig swill, which brings up the point of getting busted for 

obscenity which can be pretty common. You probably should 

incorporate, but contact a sympathetic lawyer before you put out 

your first issue. During the summer there are usually a few 

alternative media conferences organized by one group or another. 

You can pick up valuable information and exchange ideas at these 

gatherings. UPS and the news services will keep you posted. Good 

luck and write on!</p>

<h4>

HIGH SCHOOL PAPERS

</h4>

</a>



<p align="left">The usual high school paper is run by puppet lackeys of the 

administration. It avoids controversy, naughty language, and a host 

of other things foreign to the 4-H Club members the school is 

determined to mass produce. The only thing the staff is good at is 

kissing the principal's ass. Let's face it, the aim of a good high 

school newspaper should be to destroy the high school. Publishing 

and distributing a heavy paper isn't going to earn you the Junior 

Chamber of Commerce good citizenship award. You might have to be a 

little mysterious about who the staff is until you understand the 

ground rules and who controls the ballpark�the people or the 

principal.</p>



<p align="left">Many schools do not allow papers to be handed out on the 

school premises. These cases are generally won by the newspapers 

that take the school to court. You can challenge the rule and make 

the administration look like the dinosaurs they are by distributing 

sheets of paper with only your logo and the school rule printed. By 

gaining outside publicity for the first distribution of the paper, 

you might put the administration up tight about clamping down on 

you. It might be difficult to explain in civics class when they get 

to the freedom of the press stuff. Your paper should have one 

purpose in mind�to piss off the principal and radicalize the 

students. If you run into problems, seek out a sympathetic lawyer. 

You can get a helpful pamphlet from the ACLU, 156 5th Ave., 

New York, NY 10010, called Academic Freedom in the Secondary 

Schools" for 25�.</p>



<p align="left">Tell your lawyer about the most recent (July 10, 1970) 

decision of the United States District Court in Connecticut which 

ruled that the high school students of Rippowan High School in 

Stanford can publish independent newspapers without having the 

contents screened in advance by school officials.</p>



<p align="left">The same info for underground papers applies to high school 

rags, only the price should be much less if not free. To begin 

with, you might just mimeograph the first few issues before trying 

photo-offset printing. It is very important to get the readers 

behind you in case you have to go to war with the administration in 

order to survive. Maintain friendships with above ground reporters, 

the local underground paper and radical community groups for 

alliances.</p>

<h4>

G.I. PAPERS

</h4>

</a>



<p align="left">A heavier scene than even the high schools exists in No-No 

Land of the military. None-the-less, against incredible odds, 

courageous G.I.'s both here and overseas have managed to put out a 

number of underground newspapers. If you are a G.I. interested in 

starting a paper, the first thing to do is seek out a few buddies 

who share your views on the military and arrange a meeting, 

preferably off the base. Once you have your group together, getting 

the paper published will be no problem. Keeping your staff secret, 

you can have one member contact with someone from a G.I. coffee 

house, anti-war organization or nearby underground newspaper. This 

civilian contact person will be in a position to raise the bread 

and arrange the printing and distribution of the paper. You can 

write one of the national G.I. newspaper organizations listed at 

the end of this section if you are unable to find help locally. The 

paper should be printed off the base. Government equipment should 

be avoided.</p>



<p align="left">Correspondence and subscriptions can be solicited through the 

use of a post office box. Such a box is inexpensive and secret (at 

least that's what the G.I. papers now publishing report) from 

military snoopers up tight about bad publicity if they get caught 

spying. If you are mailing the paper to other G.I.'s use first 

class mail and a plain envelope. This is advice to anybody sending 

stuff to a G.I. The mail is handled by "lifers" who will report 

troublemakers to their C.O. (Commanding Officer) if they notice 

anti-war slogans on envelopes or dirty commie rags coming their 

way.</p>



<p align="left">You'll want to publish stuff relevant to the lives of the 

G:I.'s on your base. News of demonstrations, articles on the war, 

racism, counter-culture and vital info on how to bug the higher-ups 

and get out of the military service are all good. Get samples of 

other newspapers already in operation to get the flavor of writing 

that has become popular.</p>



<p align="left">Distributing the paper is really more of a problem than the 

publishing. Here you run smack into Catch 22, which says, "no 

printed matter may be distributed on a military base without prior 

written permission of the commanding officer." No such permit has 

been granted in military history. A few court battles have had 

limited success and you should go through the formality of 

obtaining a permit. Send the first issue of the paper to your C.O. 

with a cover letter stating where and when you intend to distribute 

the paper on the base. In no part of the application should you 

list your names. Have a civilian, preferably a civil liberties 

lawyer, sign the declaration of intent. If more info is requested, 

go over it with the lawyer before responding, Natch, they're going 

to want to know who you are and where you get your bread, but fuck 

'em. Whether or not you get a permit or have a successful court 

battle is pretty academic. If the military pigs catch you handing 

out an underground paper on the base, you're headed for trouble. 

Use civilian volunteers from your local peace group in as many 

public roles as possible. They'll be glad to help out.</p>



<p align="left">Print and distribute as many copies as you can rather than 

concentrating on an expensively printed paper with numerous pages. 

The very existence of the paper around the base is the most 

important info the paper can offer. Leave some in mess halls, 

theaters, benches, washrooms, and other suitable spots. Off base 

get the paper to sympathetic reporters, coffee houses, colleges and 

the like. Outside U.S.O. centers and bus terminals are a good place 

to get the paper out. Rely on donations, so you can make the paper 

free. Get it together. Demand the right to join the army of your 

choice. The People's Army! As Joe Hill said in one of his songs, 

"Yes, I'll pick up a gun but I won't guarantee which way I'll point 

it."</p>

NEWS SERVICES

</h4>

</a>



<p align="left">Aside from UPS, which is the association of papers, there are 

five news services that we know of that you might be interested in 

subscribing to for national stories, photos, production ideas, news 

of other papers and general movement dope. LNS is the best known. 

It sends out packets once a week that include about thirty pages 

with original articles, eye-witness reports, reprints from foreign 

papers and photographs. They tend to be heavily political rather 

than cultural and view themselves as molders of ideology rather 

than strictly a service organization of the underground papers. A 

subscription costs $15.00 per month, but if you're just starting 

out they are good about slow payments and such.</p>



<p align="left">You should get in the habit of sending special articles, in 

particular eye-witness accounts of events that other papers might 

use, to one or more of the news services for distribution. If you 

hear of an important event that you would like to cover in your 

newspaper, call the paper in that area for a quick report. They 

might send you photos if you agree to reciprocate.</p>

<h4>

SWITCHBOARDS

</h4>

</a>



<p align="left">A good way to quickly communicate what's coming down in the 

community is to build a telephone tree. It works on a pyramid 

system. A small core of people are responsible for placing five 

calls each. Each person on the line in turn calls five people and 

so on. If the system is prearranged correctly with adjustments made 

if some people don't answer the phone, you can have info 

transmitted to about a thousand people in less than an hour. A 

slower but more permanent method is to start a Switchboard. 

Basically, a Switchboard is a central telephone number or numbers 

that anybody can call night or day to get information. It can be as 

sophisticated as the community can support. The people that agree 

to answer the phone should have a complete knowledge of places, 

services and events happening in the community. Keep a complete 

updated file. The San Francisco Switchboard (see below) puts out an 

operator's manual explaining the organization and operation of a 

successful switchboard. They will send it out for 12� postage. San 

Francisco has the longest and most extensive Switchboard operation. 

From time to time there are national conferences with local 

switchboards sending a rep.</p>

<h3>

Guerrilla Broadcasting

</h3>

</a>



<a name="3.02.1">

<h4>

GUERRILLA RADIO

</h4>

</a>



<p align="left">Under FCC Low Power Transmission Regulations, it is legal to 

broadcast on the AM band without even obtaining a license, if you 

transmit with 100 milliwatts of power or less on a free band space 

that doesn't interfere with a licensed station. You are further 

allowed up to a 12-foot antenna or the use of carrier-current 

transmission (regular electric wall outlets). Using this legal 

set-up, you can broadcast from a 2 to 20 block radius depending on 

how high up you can locate your antenna and the density of tall 

buildings in the area.</p>



<p align="left">Carrier-current broadcasting consists of plugging the 

transmitter into a regular wall socket. It draws power in the same 

way as any other electrical appliance, and feeds its signal into 

the power line allowing the broadcast to be heard on any AM radio 

tuned into the operating frequency. The transmitter can be adjusted 

to different frequencies until a clear band is located. The signal 

will travel over the electrical wiring until it hits a transformer 

where it will be erased. The trouble with this method is that in 

large cities, almost every large office or apartment building has a 

transformer. You should experiment with this method first, but if 

you are in a city, chances are you'll need an antenna rigged up on 

the roof. Anything over twelve feet is illegal, but practice has 

shown that the FCC won't hassle you if you don't have commercials 

and refrain from interfering with licensed broadcasts. There are 

some cats in Connecticut broadcasting illegally with a 100-foot 

antenna over a thirty mile radius for hours on end and nobody gives 

them any trouble. Naturally if you insist upon using dirty 

language, issuing calls to revolution, broadcasting bombing 

information, interfering with above ground stations and becoming 

too well known, the FCC is going to try and knock you out. There 

are penalties that have never been handed out of up to a year in 

jail. It's possible you could get hit with a conspiracy rap, which 

could make it a felony, but the opinion of movement lawyers now is 

a warning if you're caught once, and a possible fine with stiffer 

penalties possible for repeaters that are caught.</p>



<p align="left">If it gets really heavy, you could still broadcast for up to 

15 minutes without being pin-pointed by the FCC sleuths. By 

locating your equipment in a panel truck and broadcasting from a 

fixed roof antenna, you can make it almost impossible for them to 

catch you by changing positions.</p>



<p align="left">There has been a variety of transmitting equipment used, and 

the most effective has been found to be an AM transmitter 

manufactured by Low Power Broadcasting Co., 520 Lincoln Highway, 

Frazer, Penn. 19355. Call Dick Crompton at (215 NI 4-4096.  The 

right transmitter will run about $200. If you plan to use 

carrier-current transmission you'll also need a capacitor that 

sells for $30. An antenna can be made out of aluminum tubing and 

antenna wiring available at any TV radio supply store (see 

diagram). You'll also need a good microphone that you can get for 

about $10. Naturally, equipment for heavier broadcasting is 

available if a member of your group has a license or good 

connections with someone who works in a large electronics supply 

house. Also with a good knowledge in the area you can build a 

transmitter for a fraction of the purchase price. You can always 

employ tape recorders, turntables and other broadcasting hardware 

depending on how much bread you have, how much stuff you have to 

hide (i.e., how legal your operation is) and the type of 

broadcasting you want to do.</p>



<p align="left">It is possible to extend your range by sending a signal over 

the telephone lines to other transmitters which will immediately 

rebroadcast. Several areas in a city could be linked together and 

even from one city to another. Theoretically, if enough people rig 

up transmitters and antennas at proper locations and everyone 

operates on the same band, it is possible to build a nation-wide 

people's network that is equally theoretically legal.</p>



<p align="left">Broadcasting, it should be remembered, is a one-way 

transmission of information. Communications which allow you to 

transmit and receive are illegal without a license (ham radio).</p>

<h4>

GUERRILLA TELEVISION

</h4>

</a>



<p align="left">There are a number of outlaw radio projects going on around 

the country. Less frequent, but just as feasible, is a people's 

television network. Presently there are three basic types of TV 

systems: Broadcast, which is the sending of signals directly from a 

station's transmitter to home receiver sets; Cable, where the cable 

company employees extremely sensitive antenna to pick up broadcast 

transmissions and relay them and/or they originate and send them; 

and thirdly, Closed Circuit TV, such as the surveillance cameras in 

supermarkets, banks and apartment house lobbies.</p>



<p align="left">The third system as used by the pigs is of little concern, 

unless we are interested in not being photographed. The cameras can 

be temporarily knocked out of commission by flashing a bright light 

(flashbulb, cigarette lighter, etc.) directly in front of its lens. 

For our own purposes, closed-circuit TV can be employed for 

broadcasting rallies, rock concerts or teach-ins to other 

locations. The equipment is not that expensive to rent and easy to 

operate. Just contact the largest television or electronics store 

in your area and ask about it. There are also closed-circuit and 

cable systems that work in harmony to broadcast special shows to 

campuses and other institutions. Many new systems are being 

developed and will be in operation soon.</p>



<p align="left">Cable systems as such are in use only in a relatively few 

areas. They can be tapped either at the source or at any point 

along the cable by an engineer freak who knows what to do. The 

source is the best spot, since all the amplification and 

distribution equipment of the system is available at that point. 

Tapping along the cable itself can be a lot hairier, but more 

frustrating for the company when they try to trace you down.</p>



<p align="left">Standard broadcasting that is received on almost all living 

room sets works on an RF (radio frequency) signal sent out on 

various frequencies which correspond to the channels on the tuner. 

In no area of the country are all these channels used. This raises 

important political questions as to why people do not have the 

right to broadcast on unused channels. By getting hold of a TV 

camera (Sony and Panasonic are the best for the price) that has an 

RF output, you can send pictures to a TV set simply by placing the 

camera cable on or near the antenna of the receiver set. When the 

set is operating on the same channel as the camera, it will show 

what the camera sees. Used video tape recorders such as the Sony CV 

series that record and play back audio and video information are 

becoming more available. These too can be easily adapted to send RF 

signals the same as a live camera.</p>



<p align="left">Whether or not the program to be broadcasted is live or on 

tape, there are three steps to be taken in order to establish a 

people's TV network. First, you must convert the video and audio 

signals to an RF frequency modulated (FM) signal corresponding to 

the desired broadcast channel. We suggest for political and 

technical reasons that you pick one of the unused channels in your 

area to begin experimenting. The commercial stations have an 

extremely powerful signal and can usually override your small 

output. Given time and experience you might want to go into direct 

competition with the big boys on their own channel. It is entirely 

possible, say in a 10 to 20 block radius, to interrupt a 

presidential press-conference with more important news. Electronic 

companies, such as Jerrold Electronics Corp., 4th and Walnut Sts., 

Philadelphia, Pa., make equipment that can RF both video and audio 

information onto specific channels. The device you'd be interested 

in is called a cable driver or RF modulator.</p>



<p align="left">When the signal is in the RF state, it is already possible to 

broadcast very short distances. The second step is to amplify the 

signal so it will reach as far as possible. A linear amplifier of 

the proper frequency is required for this job. The stronger the 

amplifier the farther and more powerful the signal. A 10-watt job 

will cover approximately 5 miles (line of sight) in area. Linear 

amplifiers are not that easily available, but they can be 

constructed with some electrical engineering knowledge.</p>



<p align="left">The third step is the antenna, which if the whole system is to 

be mobile to avoid detection, is going to involve some 

experimentation and possible camouflage. Two things to keep in mind 

about an antenna are that it should be what is technically referred 

to as a "di-pole" antenna (see diagram) and since TV signals travel 

on line of sight, it is important to place the antenna as high as 

possible. Although it hasn't been done in practice, it certainly is 

possible to reflect pirate signals off an make equipment that can 

RF both video and audio existing antenna of a commercial network. 

This requires a full knowledge of broadcasting; however, any 

amateur can rig up an antenna, attach it to a helium balloon and 

get it plenty high. For most, the roof of a tall building will 

suffice. If you're really uptight about your operation, the antenna 

can be hidden with a fake cardboard chimney.</p.



<p align="left">We realize becoming TV guerrillas is not everyone's trip, but 

a small band with a few grand can indeed pull it off. There are a 

lot of technical freaks hanging around recording studios, guitar 

shops, hi-fi stores and engineering schools that can be turned on 

to the project. By showing them the guidelines laid out here, they 

can help you assemble and build various components that are 

difficult to purchase (i.e., the linear amplifier). Naturally, by 

building some of the components, the cost of the operation is kept 

way down. Equipment can be purchased in selective electronics 

stores. You'll need a camera, VTR, RF modulator, linear amplifier 

and antenna. Also a generator, voltage regulator and an alternator 

if you want the station to be mobile. One of the best sources of 

information on both television and radio broadcasting is the Radio 

Amateur's Handbook published by the American Radio Relay League, 

Newington, Conn. 06611 and available for $4.50. The handbook gives 

a complete course in electronics and the latest information on all 

techniques and equipment related to broadcasting. Back issues have 

easy to read do-it-yourself TV transmitter diagrams and 

instructions. Also available is a publication called Radical 

Software, put out by Raindance Corp., 24 E. 22nd St., New York, 

N.Y., with the latest info on all types of alternative 

communications.</p>



<p align="left">Guerrilla TV is the vanguard of the communications revolution, 

rather than the avant-garde cellophane light shows and the weekend 

conferences. One pirate picture on the sets in Amerika's living 

rooms is worth a thousand wasted words.</p>



<p align="left">With the fundamentals in this field mastered, you can rig up 

all sorts of shit. Cheap twenty-dollar tape recorders can be 

purchased and outfitted with a series of small loud-speakers. 

Concealed in a school auditorium or other large hall, such a system 

can blast out any message or music you wish to play. The 

administration will go insane trying to locate the operation if it 

is well hidden. We know two cats who rigged a church with this type 

of setup and a timing device. Right in the middle of the sermon, on 

came Radio Heaven and said stuff like "Come on preacher, this is 

God, you don't believe all that crap now, do you?" It made for an 

exciting Sunday service, all right. You can build a miniature 

transmitter and with a small magnet attach it to the underbelly of 

a police car to keep track of where it's going. This would only be 

practical in a small town or on a campus where there are only a few 

security guards or patrol vehicles. If you rigged a small tape 

recorder to the transmitter and tuned it to a popular AM band, the 

patrol car as it rode around could actually broadcast the guerrilla 

message you prerecorded. Wouldn't they be surprised when they found 

out how you did it? You can get a "Bumper Beeper" and receiver that 

are constructed by professionals for use by private detectives. The 

dual unit costs close to $400. If you've got that kind of bread, 

you can write John Bomar, 6838 No. 3rd Ave., Phoenix, Arizona 85013 

for a catalogue and literature.</p>



<p align="left">Even though there are laws governing the area of sneaky 

surveillance, telephone taps, tracking devices and the like, a 

number of enterprising firms produce an unbelievable array of 

electronic hardware that allows you to match Big Brother's ears and 

eyes. Sugar cube transmitters, tie clasp microphones, phone taps, 

tape recorders that work in a hollowed-out book and other Brave New 

World equipment is available from the following places. Send for 

their catalogues just to marvel at the level of technology. 

R. B. Clifton, 1150 NW 7th Ave., Miami, Fla. 33168; Electrolab 

Corp., Bank of Stateboro Building, Stateboro, Ga. 30458; or Tracer 

Investigative Products, Inc., 256 Worth. Ave., Palm, Beach, Fla. 

33482.</p>



<p align="left">By the way, you can pick up Radio Hanoi on a short wave radio 

every day from 3:00 to 3:30 PM at 15013 kilocycles on the 19 meter 

band.</p>



<a name="3.03.0">

<h3>

Demonstrations

</h3>

</a>



<p align="left">Demonstrations always will be an important form of protest. 

The structure can vary from a rally or teach-in to a massive civil 

disobedience such as the confronting of the warmakers at the 

Pentagon or a smoke-in. A demonstration is different from other 

forms of warfare because it invites people other than those 

planning the action via publicity to participate. It also is 

basically non-violent in nature. A complete understanding of the 

use of media is necessary to create the publicity needed to get the 

word out. Numbers of people are only one of the many factors in an 

effective demonstration. The timing, choice of target and tactics 

to be employed are equally important. There have been 

demonstrations of 400,000 that are hardly remembered and 

demonstrations of a few dozen that were remarkably effective. Often 

the critical element involved is the theater. Those who say a 

demonstration should be concerned with education rather than 

theater don't understand either and will never organize a 

successful demonstration, or for that matter, a successful 

revolution. Publicity includes everything from buttons and leaflets 

to press conferences. You should be in touch with the best artists 

you can locate to design the visual props. Posters can be silk 

screened very cheaply and people can be taught to do it in a very 

short time. Buttons have to be purchased. The cheapest are those 

printed directly on the metal. The paint rubs off after a while, 

but they are ideal for mass demonstrations. You can print 10,000 

for about $250.00. Leaflets, like posters, should be well designed.</p>



<p align="left">One way of getting publicity is to negotiate with the city for 

permits. Again, this raises political questions, but there is not 

doubt one reason for engaging in permit discussions is for added 

publicity.</p>



<p align="left">The date, time and place of the demonstration all have to be 

chosen with skill. Know the projected weather reports. Pick a time 

and day of the week that are convenient to most people. Make sure 

the place itself adds some meaning to the message. Don't have a 

demonstration just because that's the way it's always been done. It 

is only one type of weapon and should be used as such. On the other 

hand, don't dismiss demonstrations because they have always turned 

out boring. You and your group can plan a demonstration within the 

demonstration more accurately. Also don't tend to dismiss 

demonstrations outright because the repression is too great. During 

World War II the Danes held street demonstrations against the Nazis 

who occupied their country. Even today there are public 

demonstrations against the Vietnam War in downtown Saigon. 

Repression is there, but overestimating it is more a tactical 

blunder than the reverse. None the less, it's wise to go to all 

demonstrations prepared for a vamping by the pigs.</p>



<a name="3.03.1">

<h4>

DRESS

</h4>

</a>



<p align="left">Most vamping is accompanied by clubbing, rough shoving and 

dragging, gassing and occasional buckshot or rifle fire. The 

clothing you wear should offer you the best protection possible, 

yet be light weight enough to allow you to be highly mobile. CS and 

CN are by far the most commonly employed tear gas dispersibles. 

Occasionally they are combined with pepper gas to give better 

results. Pepper gas is a nerve irritant that affects exposed areas 

of the skin. Clothing that is tight fitting and covers as much of 

the body surface as possible is advisable. This also offers some 

protection if you are dragged along the ground. Gloves come in 

handy as protection and if you want to pick up gas canisters and 

throw them back at the pigs or chuck them through a store window.</p>



<p align="left">Your shoes should be high sneakers for running or boots for 

kicking. Hiking boots sold in army surplus stores serve both 

purposes and are your best selection for street action. Men should 

wear a jock strap or protective cup. Rib guards can be purchased 

for about $6.00 at any sporting goods store. Shoulder pads and leg 

pads are also available, but unless you expect heavy fighting and 

are used to wearing this clumsy street armor, you'll be better off 

without it.</p>



<a name="3.03.2">

<h4>

HELMETS

</h4>

</a>



<p align="left">Everyone should have a helmet. Your head sticks out above the 

swarming crowd and dents like a tin can. Protect it! The type of 

helmet you get depends on what you can afford and how often you'll 

be using it. The cheapest helmet available is a heavy steel tank 

model. This one is good because it offers ear protection and has a 

built-in suspension system to absorb the blow. It is also bullet 

proof. It's disadvantages are that it only comes in large sizes and 

is the heaviest thing you'll ever have on your head. It costs about 

$3.00. For $5.00 you can get a Civil Defense helmet made for 

officers. It's much lighter, but doesn't offer protection for the 

ears. It has a good suspension system. If you get this model, paint 

it a dark color before using it and you'll be less conspicuous. Our 

fashion consultants suggest anarchy black.</p>



<p align="left">Construction helmets or "hard hats" run between $8.00 and 

$10.00, depending on the type of suspension system and material 

used. They are good for women because they are extremely 

lightweight. The aluminum ones dent if struck repeatedly and the 

fiberglass type can crack. Also they offer no ear protection. If 

you prefer one of these you should find a way to attach a chin or 

neck strap so you won't lose it while you run. If you get a hard 

hat, make sure you remove the hard head before you take it home.</p>



<p align="left">Probably the all-around good deal for the money is the 

standard M-1 Army issue helmet. These vary in quality and price, 

depending on age and condition.  They run from $2.00 to $10.00. 

Make sure the one you get has a liner with webbing that fits well 

or is adjustable and has a chin strap. Their main disadvantage is 

that they are bulky and heavy.</p>



<p align="left">The snappiest demonstrators use the familiar motorcycle crash 

helmet. They are the highest in price, running from $10.00 to as 

high as $40.00. Being made of fiberglass, they are extremely 

lightweight. They have a heavy-duty strap built in and they can be 

gotten to fit quite snugly around the head. They offer excellent 

ear protection. The foam rubber insulation is better than a webbing 

system, and will certainly cushion most blows. Being made of 

fiberglass, a few have been known to crack under repeated blows, 

but that is extremely rare. Most come with plastic face guards that 

offer a little added protection. Get only those with removable ones 

since you might want to make use of a gas mask.</p>



<a name="3.03.3">

<h4>

GAS MASKS

</h4>

</a>



<p align="left">Ski goggles or the face visor on a crash helmet will protect 

against Mace but will offer no protection against the chemical 

warfare gasses being increasingly used by pigs to dispose crowds. 

For this protection you'll need a gasmask. All the masks discussed 

give ideal protection against the gasses mentioned in the chart if 

used properly. If you do not have a gas mask, you should at least 

get a supply of surgical masks from a hospital supply store and a 

plastic bag filled with water and a cloth.</p>



<p align="left">The familiar World War II Army gas mask with the filter in a 

long nose unit sells new (which is the only way gas masks can be 

sold) for about $5.00. Its disadvantages are that it doesn't cover 

the whole face, is easy to grab and pull off and the awkwardly 

placed filter makes running difficult. The Officer Civil Defense 

unit sells for the same price and overcomes the disadvantages of 

the World War II Army model. Most National Guard units use this 

type of mask. It offers full face protection, is lightweight and 

the filter canister is conveniently located. Also the adjustable 

straps make for a nice tight fit. The U.S.A. Protective Field 

Combat Mask M9A1 offers the same type protection as the OCD, but 

costs twice as much. Its advantage is that you can get new filter 

canisters when the chemicals in the one you are using becomes 

ineffective. New filters cost about $1.50. When you buy a mask, be 

sure and inquire if the filter has replacements. To get maximum 

efficiency out of a mask it needs an active chemical filter.</p>



<p align="left">The U.S. Navy ND Mark IV Mask is the most effective gas mask 

available. It has replaceable filter canisters and fits snugly to 

the head. It costs about $12.00. Its disadvantage is its dual tube 

filter system, which is somewhat bulky. Fix it so the canister 

rests on the back of your needs. It's more difficult to grab and 

easier to run.</p>



<p align="left">When you get your gas mask home, try it out to get the feeling 

of using it. Make sure the fit is good and snug. Purchase an 

anti-fog cloth for 25 cents where you got the mask. Wipe the inside 

of the eye pieces before wearing to prevent the glasses from 

clouding. Another good reason for wearing a mask is that it offers 

anonymity. Helmets, gas masks and a host of other valuable 

equipment are available at any large Army-Navy surplus store. 

Kaufman's Surplus and Arms, Inc., 623 Broadway, New York, N.Y. 

10012 is very well stocked. For 75 cents you can get their 

catalogue and order through the mail. It's in New York though and 

probably more expensive than a store in your locale. The surplus 

stores buy from wholesale distributors themselves, who in turn buy 

directly from the military. If you know a soldier or someone who is 

married to a soldier, they have access to the Post Dispensary or PX 

and can get all sorts of stuff at nothing prices. For 20 cents you 

can get an  invaluable pamphlet from the Government Printing Office 

called How to Buy Surplus Personal Property. It has a complete list 

of regional surplus wholesalers. The closest one in the Northeast 

is the Naval Supply Center, Building 652, U.S. Naval Base, 

Philadelphia, Pa. and in Northern California, the Naval Supply 

Center, Building 502, Oakland, California. You can order by mail or 

in person and the prices are very low, even though it isn't as good 

as the stuff our brothers and sisters in the Viet Cong rip-off.</p>



<a name="3.03.4">

<h4>

WALKIE-TALKIES

</h4>

</a>



<p align="left">You should always go to a demonstration in a small group that 

stays in contact with each other until the demonstration is over. 

One way to keep in touch is to use walkie-talkies. No matter how 

heavy the vamping gets or how spread out are the crowds, you'll be 

able to communicate with these lightweight effective portable 

devices. The only disadvantage is cost. A half decent unit costs at 

least $18.00. It should have a minimum of 9 transistors and 100 

milliwatts, although walkie-talkies can go as high as 5 watts and 

broadcast over 2 miles. Anything under 1 watt will not broadcast 

over � mile and considerably less in an area with tall buildings. 

The best unit you can buy runs about $300.00. If you ever deck a 

pig, steal his walkie-talkie even before you take his gun. A good 

rule is to avoid the bargain gyp-joints and go to a place that 

deals in electronic equipment.</p>



<p align="left">The important thing to realize about all walkie-talkie 

networks is that if anyone can talk, anyone else can listen and 

vice versa. This applies to pigs as well as us. All walkie-talkies 

work on the Civilian Band which has 23 channels. The cheaper units 

are preset to channel 9 or 11. The pigs broadcast on higher 

channels, usually channel 22. More expensive sets can operate on 

alternative channels. By removing the front of the set, you can 

adjust the transmitter and receiver to pick up and receive police 

communications. Don't screw around with the inside though, unless 

you know what you are doing. Allied Radio, 100 N. Western Ave., 

Chicago, Illinois 60680, will send you a good free catalogue, as 

will most large electronic stores. Consider buying a number of sets 

and ask about group discounts. Practice a number of times before 

you actually use walkie-talkies in real action. Develop code names 

and words just like the pigs do. Once you get acquainted with this 

method of communications in the streets, you'll never get cut off 

from the action. Watch out in close combat though. The pigs always 

try to smash any electronic gear.</p>

<h4>

OTHER EQUIPMENT

</h4>

</a>



<p align="left">A sign can be used to ward off blows. Staple it to a good 

strong pole that you can use as a weapon if need be. Chains make 

good belts, as do garrisons with the buckles sharpened. A tightly 

rolled-up magazine or newspaper also can be used as a defensive 

weapon.</p>



<p align="left">Someone in your group should carry a first aid kit. A Medical 

Emergency Aeronautic Kit, which costs about $5.00 has a perfect 

carrying bag for street action.</p>



<p align="left">Ideally you should visit the proposed site of the 

demonstration before it actually takes place. This way you'll have 

an idea of the terrain and the type of containment the police will 

be using. Someone in your group should mimeograph a map of the 

immediate vicinity which each person should carry. Alternative 

actions and a rendezvous point should be worked out. Everyone 

should have two numbers written on their arm, a coordination center 

number and the number of a local lawyer or legal defense committee. 

You should not take your personal phone books to demonstrations. If 

you get busted, pigs can get mighty Nosy when it comes to phone 

books. Any sharp objects can be construed as weapons. Women should 

not wear earrings or other jewelry and should tie their hair up to 

tuck it under a helmet. Wear a belt that you can use as a 

tourniquet. False teeth and contact lenses should be left at home 

if possible. You can choke on false teeth if you receive a sharp 

blow while running. Contact lenses can complicate eye damage if gas 

or Mace is used.</p>



<p align="left">If it really looks heavy, you might want to pick up on a 

lightweight adjustable bullet-proof vest, available for $14.95 from 

Surplus Distributors, Inc., 6279 Van Nuys Blvd., Van Nuys, 

California 91401. Remember what the Boy Scouts say when they go 

camping: "Be Prepared". When you go to demonstrations you should be 

prepared for a lot more than speeches. The pigs will be.</p>

<h3>

Trashing

</h3>

</a>



<p align="left">Ever since the Chicago pigs brutalized the demonstrators in 

August of 1968, young people have been read to vent their rage over 

Amerika's inhumanity by using more daring tactics than basic 

demonstrations. There is a growing willingness to do battle with 

the pigs in the streets and at the same time to inflict property 

damage. It's not exactly rioting and it's not exactly guerrilla 

warfare; it has come to be called "Trashing." Most trashing is of a 

primitive nature with the pigs having the weapon and strategy 

advantage. Most trashers rely on quick young legs and a nearby 

rock. By developing simple gang strategy and becoming acquainted 

with some rudimentary weapons and combat techniques, the odds can 

be shifted considerably.</p>



<p align="left">Remember, pigs have small brains and move slowly. All 

formations, signals, codes and other procedures they use have to be 

uniform and simplistic. The Army Plan for Containment and Control 

of Civil Disorders, published by the Government Printing Office, 

contains the basic thinking for all city, county and state storm 

troopers. A trip to the library and a look at any basic text in 

criminology will help considerably in gaining an understanding of 

how pigs act in the street. If you study up, you'll find you can, 

with the aid of a bullhorn or properly adjusted walkie-talkie, fuck 

up many intricate pig formations. "Left flank-right turn!" said 

authoritatively into a bullhorn pointed in the right direction will 

yield all sorts of wild results.</p>



<p align="left">You should trash with a group using a buddy system to keep 

track of each other. If someone is caught by a pig, other should 

immediately rush to the rescue if it's possible to do so without 

sustaining too many losses. If an arrest is made, someone from your 

gang should take responsibility for seeing to it that a lawyer and 

bail bread are taken care of. Never abandon a member of your gang.</p>



<p align="left">Avoid fighting in close quarters. You run less risk by 

throwing an object than by personally delivering the blow with a 

weapon you hold in your hand. We suppose this is what pigs refer to 

as "duty fighting." All revolutionaries fight dirt in the eyes of 

the oppressors. The British accused the Minutemen of Lexington and 

Concord of fighting dirty by hiding behind trees. The U.S. Army 

accuses the Viet Cong of fighting dirty when they rub a pointed 

bamboo shoot in infected shit and use it as a land mine. Mayor 

Daley says the Yippies squirted hair spray and used golf balls with 

spikes in them against his innocent blue boys. No one ever accused 

the U.S. of being sneaky for using an airforce in Southeast Asia or 

the Illinois State Attorney's office of fighting dirty when it 

murdered Fred Hampton and Mark Clark while they lay in bed. We say: 

all power to the dirty fighters!</p>

<h4>

WEAPONS FOR STREET FIGHTING

</h4>

</a>



Spray Cans



<p align="left">These are a very effective and educating method of property 

destruction. If a liberated zone has been established or you find 

yourself on a quiet street away from the thick of things, pretty up 

the neighborhood. Slogans and symbols can be sprayed on rough 

surfaces such as brick or concrete walls that are a real bitch to 

remove unless expensive sandblasting is used.</p>



The Slingshot



<p align="left">This is probably the ideal street weapon for the swarms of 

little Davids that are out to down the Goliaths of Pigdom. It is 

cheap, legal to carry, silent, fast-loading and any right size rock 

will do for a missile. You can find them at hobby shops and large 

sporting goods stores, especially those that deal in hunting 

supplies. Wrist-Rocket makes a powerful and accurate slingshot for 

$2.50. The Whamo Sportsman is not as good but half the price. By 

selecting the right "Y" shaped branch, you can fashion a home-made 

one by using a strip of rubber cut from the inner tube of a tue as 

the sling. A few hours of shooting stones at cans in the back yard 

or up on the roof will make you marksman enough for those fat bank 

windows and even fatter pigs.</p>



Slings



<p align="left">A sling is a home-made weapon consisting of two lengths of 

heavy-duty cord each attached securely at one end to a leather 

patch that serves as a pocket to cradle the rock. Place the rock in 

the pouch and grab the two pieces of cord firmly in your hand. 

Whirl the rock round and round until gravity holds it firmly in the 

pouch. When you feel you have things under control, let one end of 

the cord go and the rock will fly out at an incredible speed. You 

should avoid using the sling in a thick crowd (rooftop shooting is 

best). Practice is definitely needed to gain any degree of 

accuracy.</p>



Boomerangs



<p align="left">The boomerang is a neat weapon for street fighting and is as 

easy to master as the Frisbee. There is a great psychological 

effect in using exotic weapons such as this. You can buy one at 

large hobby stores. On the East Coast you can get one from 

Sportscraft, Bergenfield, New Jersey, for $2.69, and on the West 

Coast from Whamo, 835 El Monte St., San Gabriel, Calif., for $1.10.</p>



Flash Guns



<p align="left">Electric battery-operated flash guns are available that will 

blind a power-crazy pig, thus distracting him long enough to rescue 

a captured comrade. Check out camping and boating supply stores.</p>



Tear Gas and Mace



<p align="left">Personalized tear gas and mace dispensers are available for 

self-defense against muggers. Well, isn't a pig just an extra 

vicious mugger? Write J.P. Darby, 8813 New Hyde Park, New York, 

N.Y. 11040 for a variety of types and prices.</p>



<p align="left">Tear gas shells are available for 12 gauge shotguns and .38 

Special handguns, but it is highly inadvisable to bring guns to 

street actions. A far better weapon is a specially built projection 

device that shoots tear gas shells. Hercules Gas-Munitions Corp., 

5501 No. Broadway, Chicago, Ill., sells compact units complete with 

cartridges for $6.95 that will fire up to 20 feet. Penguin 

Associates, Inc., Pennsylvania Avenue, Malvern, Penn., also has a 

variety of tear-gas propellant devices including a combination tear 

gas-billyclub item. All these companies will supply a catalogue and 

price list on request. Some states have laws against civilian use 

of tear gas devices. New York is one of them, and unfortunately 

these companies will not ship to states that forbid usage. If you 

want any of these items, and your state has restrictions, have a 

sister or brother in a neighboring state order for you. Just 

latching onto these catalogues can be a trip and a half in terms of 

getting your imagination hopping. For example Raid, Black Flag and 

other insecticides shoot a 7 to 10 foot stream that burns the eyes. 

You can also dissolve Drano in water and squirt it from an ordinary 

plastic water pistol. That makes a highly effective defensive 

weapon. A phony letterhead of a Civil Defense unit will help in 

getting heavier anti-personal weapons of a defensive nature.</p>



Anti-Tire Weapons



<p align="left">Don't believe all those bullshit tire ads that make tires seem 

like the Superman of the streets. Roofing nails spread out on the 

street are effective in stopping a patrol car. A nail sticking out 

from a strong piece of wood wedged under a rear tire will work as 

effectively as a bazooka. An ice pick will do the trick repeatedly 

but you've got to have a strong arm to strike home. Sugar in the 

gas tank of a pig vehicle will really fuck-up the engine.</p>



Authentic Pig Game



<p align="left">If you really get into it, you'll probably want to be sd 

heavily prepared for trashing as are the pigs. Wouldn't you just 

know that the largest supplier of equipment to police in the world 

is in Chicago. Kale's, 550 W. Roosevelt Rd., Chicago, Ill. 60607, 

will send you, on request, the most complete catalogue you can get 

for trashing. Actual police uniforms, super-riot helmets, 

persuaders chemical mace, a knuckle sap, which is a glove with 

powdered lead, billy clubs, secret holsters, a three-in-one mob 

stick that spits Mace, emits an electric shock and allows you to 

club to death a charging rhinoceros. You can also get the latest in 

handcuffs and other security devices. This catalogue is a must for 

the love-child of the 70's. If we want to get high we're going to 

have to fight our way up.</p>



<a name="3.04.2">

<h4>

KNIFE FIGHTING

</h4>

</a>



<p align="left">Probably one of the most favored street weapons of all time is 

the good old "shiv," "blade," "toe-jabber" or whatever you choose 

to call a good sticker. Remembering that today's pig is tomorrow's 

bacon, it's good to know a few handy slicing tips. The first thing 

to learn is the local laws regarding the possession of knives. The 

laws on possession are of the "Catch-22" vagueness. Cops can arrest 

you for having a small pocket knife and claim you have a concealed 

and deadly weapon in your possession. Here, as in most cases of 

law, it's not what you are doing, it's who's doing the what that 

counts. All areas, however, usually have a limit on length such as 

blades under 4" or 6" are legal and anything over that length 

concealed on a person can be considered illegal. Asking some hip 

lawyers can help here.</p>



<p align="left">Unfortunately, the best fighting knives are illegal. 

Switchblades (and stilettos) because they can so quickly spring 

into operation, are great weapons that are outlawed in all states. 

If you want to risk the consequences, however, you can readily 

purchase these weapons once you learn how to contact the criminal 

underworld or in most foreign countries. If both of these fail, go 

to any pawnshop, look in the window, and take our choice of lethal, 

illegal knives.</p>



<p align="left">A flat gravity knife, available in most army surplus and pawn 

shops would be the best type available in regular over-the-counter 

buying. It's flat style makes for easy concealment and comfort when 

kept in a pocket or boot. It can be greased and the rear "heel" of 

the blade can be filed down to make it fly open with a flick of the 

wrist. A little practice here will be very useful.</p>



<p align="left">Most inexperienced knife fighters use a blade incorrectly. 

Having seen too many Jim Bowies slash their way through walls of 

human flesh, they persist in carrying on this inane tradition. 

Overhead and uppercut slashes are a waste of energy and blade 

power. The correct method is to hold the knife in a natural, firm 

grip and jab straight ahead at waist level with the arm extending 

full length each time. This fencing style allows for the maximum 

reach of arm and blade. By concentrating the point of the knife 

directly at the target, you make defense against such an attack 

difficult. Work out with this jabbing method in front of a mirror 

and in a few days you'll get it down pretty well.</p>



<a name="3.04.3">

<h4>

UNARMED DEFENSE

</h4>

</a>



<p align="left">Let's face it, when it comes to trashing in the streets, our 

success is going to depend on our cunning and speed rather than our 

strength and power. Our side is all quarterbacks, and the pigs have 

nothing but linemen. They are clumsy, slobbish brutes that would be 

lost without their guns, clubs and toy whistles. When one grabs you 

for an arrest, you can with a little effort, make him let go. In 

the confusion of all the street action, you will then be able to 

manage your getaway.</p>



<p align="left">There are a variety of defensive twists and pulls that are 

easy to master by reading a good, easily understandable book on the 

subject, such as George Hunter's How To Defend Yourself (see 

appendix). If a pig grabs you by the wrist you can break the grip 

by twisting against his thumb. Try this on yourself by grabbing one 

wrist with your hand. See how difficult it is to hold someone who 

works against the thumb. If he grabs you around the waist or neck, 

you can grab his thumbs or another finger and sharply bend it 

backwards. By concentrating all your energy on one little finger, 

you can inflict pain and cause the grip to be broken.</p>



<p align="left">There are a variety of points on the body where a firm amount 

of pressure skillfully directed will induce severe pain. A grip, 

for example, can be broken by jabbing your finger firmly between 

the pig's knuckles. (Nothing like chopped pigknuckles.) Feel 

directly under your chin in back of the jawbone until your finger 

rests in the V area, press firmly upward and backward towards the 

center of the head. There is also a very vulnerable spot right 

behind the ear lobe. Stick your fingers there and see. Get the 

point!</p>



<p align="left">In addition to pressure points, there are places in the body 

where a sharp, well-directed whack with the side of a rigidly held 

palm can easily disable a person. Performed by an expert, such a 

blow can even be lethal. Try making such a rigid palm and practice 

these judo chops. The fist is a ridiculous weapon to use. It's 

fleshy, the blow is distributed over too wide an area to have any 

real effect and the knuckles break easily. You will have to train 

yourself to use judo chops instinctively, but it will prove quite 

worthwhile if you are ever in trouble. A good place to aim for is 

directly in the center of the chest cavity at its lowest point. 

Draw a straight line up about six inches starting from your belly 

button, and you can feel the point. The Adam's Apple in the center 

of the neck and the back of the neck at the top of the spinal 

column are also extremely vulnerable spots. With the side of your 

palm, press firmly the spot directly below your nose and above your 

upper lip. You can easily get an idea of what a short, forceful 

chop in this area would do. The side of the head in front of the 

ear is also a good place to aim your blow.</p>



<p align="left">In addition to jabs, chops, twists, squeezes and bites, you 

ought to gain some mastery of kneeing and kicking. If you are being 

held in close and facing the porker, the old familiar 

knee-in-the-nuts will produce remarkable results. A feinting motion 

with the head before the knee is delivered will produce a reflexive 

reaction from your opponent that will leave his groin totally 

unprotected. Ouch!</p>



<p align="left">Whether he has you from the front or the back, he is little 

prepared to defend against a skillfully aimed kick. The best way is 

to forcefully scrape the side of your shoe downward along the 

shinbone, beginning just below the knee and ending with a hard 

stomp on the instep of the foot. Just try this with the side of 

your hand and you will get an idea of the damage you can inflict 

with this scrape and stomp method. Another good place to kick and 

often the only spot accessible is the side of the knee. Even a half 

successful blow here will topple the biggest of honkers. Any of 

these easy to learn techniques of unarmed self defense will fulfill 

the old nursery rhyme that goes:</p>



<pre>

		Catch a piggy by the toe

		When he hollers

		Let him go

		Out pops Y-0-U

<h4>

GENERAL STRATEGY RAP

</h4>

</a>



<p align="left">The guideline in trashing is to try and do as much property 

destruction as possible without getting caught or hurt. The best 

buildings to trash in terms of not alienating too many of those not 

yet clued into revolutionary violence, are the most piggy symbols 

of violence you can find. Banks, large corporations, especially 

those that participate heavily in supporting the U.S. armed forces, 

federal buildings, courthouses, police stations, and Selective 

Service centers are all good targets. On campuses, buildings that 

are noted for warfare research and ROTC training are best. When it 

comes to automobiles, choose only police vehicles and very 

expensive cars such as Lamborghinis and Iso Grifos. Every rock or 

molotov cocktail thrown should make a very obvious political point. 

Random violence produces random propaganda results. Why waste even 

a rock?</p>



<p align="left">When you know there is going to be a rough street scene 

developing, don't play into the pig's strategy. Spread the action 

out. Help waste the enemy's numbers. You and the other members of 

your group should already have a target or two in mind that will 

make for easy trashing. If you don't have one, setting fires in 

trash cans and ringing fire alarms will help provide a cover for 

other teams that do have objectives picked out. Putting out street 

lights with rocks also helps the general infusion.</p>



<p align="left">After a few tries at trashing, you'll begin to overcome your 

fears, learn what to expect from both the pigs and your comrades, 

and develop your own street strategy. Nothing works like practice 

in actual street conditions. Get your head together and you'll 

become a pro. Don't make the basic mistake of just naively floating 

into the area. Don't think "rally" or "demonstration," think "WAR" 

and "Battle Zone." Keep your eyes and ears open. Watch for mistakes 

made by members of your gang and those made by other comrades. 

Watch for blunders by the police. In street fighting, every soldier 

should think like a general. Workshops should be organized right 

after an action to discuss the strength and weaknesses of 

techniques and strategies used. Avoid political bullshit at such 

raps. Regard them as military sessions. Persons not versed in the 

tactics of revolution usually have nothing worthwhile to say about 

the politics of revolution.</p>

People's Chemistry

</h3>

</a>



<a name="3.05.1">

<h4>

STINK BOMB

</h4>

</a>



<p align="left">You can purchase buteric acid at any chemical supply store for 

"laboratory experiments." It can be thrown or poured directly in an 

area you think already stinks. A small bottle can be left uncapped 

behind a door that opens into the target room.	When a person 

enters they will knock over the bottle, spilling the liquid. Called 

a "Froines," by those in the know, an ounce of buteric acid can go 

a long way. Be careful not to get it on your clothing. A home-made 

stink bomb can be made by mixing a batch of egg whites, Drano, 

(sodium hydroxide) and water. Let the mixture sit for a few days in 

a capped bottle before using.</p>



<a name="3.05.2">

<h4>

SMOKE BOMB

</h4>

</a>



<p align="left">Sometimes it becomes strategically correct to confuse the 

opposition and provide a smoke screen to aid an escape. A real 

home-made stroke bomb can be made by combining four parts sugar to 

six parts saltpeter (available at all chemical supply stores). This 

mixture must then be heated over a very low flame. It will blend 

into a plastic substance. When this starts to gel, remove from the 

heat and allow the plastic to cool. Embed a few wooden match heads 

into the mass while it's still pliable and attach a fuse.<b>*</b></p>



<p align="left">The smoke bomb itself is a non-explosive and 

non-flame-producing, so no extreme safety requirements are needed. 

About a pound of the plastic will produce thick enough smoke to 

fill a city block. Just make sure you know which way the wind is 

blowing. Weathermen-women! If you're not the domestic type, you can 

order smoke flares (yellow or black) for $2.00 a flare [12 inch] 

from Time Square Stage Lighting Co., 318 West 47th Street, 

New York, NY 10036.</p>



<p align="left"><b>*</b>You can make a good homemade fuse by dipping a string in glue and 

then rolling it lightly in gunpowder. When the glue hardens, wrap 

the string tightly and neatly with scotch tape. This fuse can be 

used in a variety of ways. Weight it on one end and drop a rock 

into the tank of a pig vehicle. Light the other end and run like 

hell.</p>



<a name="3.05.3">

<h4>

CBW

</h4>

</a>



<p align="left">LACE (Lysergic Acid Crypto-Ethelene) can be made by mixing LSD 

with DMSO, a high penetrating agent, and water. Sprayed from an 

atomizer or squirted from a water pistol, the purple liquid will 

send any pig twirling into the Never-Never Land of chromosome 

damage. It produces an involuntary pelvic action in cops that 

resembles fucking. Remember when Mace runs out, turn to Lace.</p>



<p align="left">How about coating thin darts in LSD and shooting them from a 

Daisy Air Pellet Gun? Guns and darts are available at hobby and 

sports shops. Sharpening the otherwise dull darts will help in 

turning on your prey.</p>



<a name="3.05.4">

<h4>

MOLOTOV COCKTAIL

</h4>

</a>



<p align="left">Molotov cocktails are a classic street fighting weapon served 

up around the world. If you've never made one, you should try it 

the next time you are in some out-of-the-way barren place just to 

wipe the fear out of your mind and know that it works. Fill a 

thin-walled bottle half full with gasoline. Break up a section of 

styrofoam (cups made of this substance work fine) and let it sit in 

the gasoline for a few days. The mixture should be slushy and 

almost fill the bottle. The styrofoam spreads the flames around and 

regulates the burning. The mixture has nearly the same properties 

as napalm. Soap flakes (not detergents) can be substituted for 

styrofoam. Rubber cement and sterno also work. In a pinch, plain 

gasoline will do nicely, but it burns very fast. A 

gasoline-kerosene mixture is preferred by some folks.</p>



<p align="left">Throwing, although by far not the safest method, is sometimes 

necessary. The classic technique of stuffing a rag in the neck of a 

bottle, lighting and tossing is foolish. Often gas fumes escape 

from the bottle and the mixture ignites too soon, endangering the 

thrower. If you're into throwing, the following is a much safer 

method: Once the mixture is prepared and inside the bottle, cap it 

tightly using the original cap or a suitable cork. Then wash the 

bottle off with rubbing alcohol and wipe it clean. Just before you 

leave to strike a target, take a strip of rag or a tampax and dip 

it in gasoline. Wrap this fuse in a small plastic baggie and attach 

the whole thing to the neck of the capped bottle with the aid of 

several rubber bands. When you are ready to toss, use a lighter to 

ignite the baggie. Pall back your arm and fling it as soon as the 

tampax catches fire. This is a very safe method if followed to the 

letter. The bottle must break to ignite. Be sure to throw it with 

some force against a hard surface.</p>



<p align="left">Naturally, an even safer method is to place the firebomb in a 

stationary position and rig up a timing fuse. Cap tightly and wipe 

with alcohol as before. The alcohol wipe not only is a safety 

factor, but it eliminates tell-tale fingerprints in case the 

Molotov doesn't ignite. Next, attach an ashcan fire cracker (M-80) 

or a cherry bomb to the side of the bottle using epoxy glue. A 

fancier way is to punch a hole in the cap and pull the fuse of the 

cherry bomb up through the hole before you seal the bottle. A dab 

of epoxy will hold the fuse in place and insure the seal. A 

firecracker fuse ignites quickly so something will have to be 

rigged that will deal the action enough to make a clean getaway.</p>



<p align="left">When the firebomb is placed where you want it, light up a 

non-filter cancerette. Take a few puffs (being sure not to inhale 

the vile fumes) to get it going and work the unlighted end over the 

fuse of the firecracker. This will provide a delay of from 5 to 15 

minutes. To use this type of fuse successfully, there must be 

enough air in the vicinity so the flame won't go out. A strong wind 

would not be good either. When the cancerette burns down, it sets 

off the firecracker which in turn explodes and ignites the mixture. 

The flames shoot out in the direction opposite to where you attach 

the firecracker, thus allowing you to aim the firebomb at the most 

flammable material. With the firecracker in the cap, the flames 

spread downward in a halo. The cancerette fuse can also be used 

with a book of matches to ignite a pool of gasoline or a trash can. 

Stick the unlighted end behind the row of match heads and close the 

cover. A firecracker attached to a gallon jug of red paint and set 

off can turn an office into total abstract art.</p>



<p align="left">Commercial fuses are available in many hobby stores. Dynamite 

fuses are excellent and sold in most rural hardware stores. A good 

way to make a homemade fuse is described above under the Smoke Bomb 

section. By adding an extra few feet of fuse to the device and then 

attaching the lit cancerette fuse, you add an extra measure of 

caution. It is most important to test every type of fuse device you 

plan to use a number of times before the actual hit. Some 

experimentation will allow you to standardize the results. If you 

really want to get the job done right and have the time, place 

several molotov cocktails in a group and rig two with fuses (in 

case one goes out). When one goes, they all go . . .BAROOOOOOOOOOM!</p>



<a name="3.05.5">

<h4>

STERNO BOMB

</h4>

</a>



<p align="left">One of the simplest bombs to make is the converted sterno can. 

It will provide some bang and a widely dispersed spray of jellied 

fire. Remove the lid from a standard, commercially purchased can 

and punch a hold in the center big enough for the firecracker fuse. 

Take a large spoonful of jelly out of the center to make room for 

the firecracker. Insert the firecracker and pull the fuse up 

through the hole in the lid. When in place, cement around the hole 

with epoxy glue. Put some more glue around the rim of the can and 

reseal the lid. Wipe the can and wash off excess with rubbing 

alcohol. A cancerette fuse should be used. The can could also be 

taped around a bottle with Molotov mixture and ignited.</p>



<a name="3.05.6">

<h4>

AEROSOL BOMB

</h4>

</a>



<p align="left">You can purchase smokeless gunpowder at most stores where guns 

and ammunition are sold. It is used for reloading bullets. The back 

of shotgun shells can be opened and the powder removed. Black 

powder is more highly explosive but more difficult to come by. A 

graduate chemist can make or get all you'll need. If you know one 

that can be trusted, go over a lot of shit with him. Try turning 

him on to learning how to make "plastics" which are absolutely the 

grooviest explosive available. The ideal urban guerrilla weapons 

are these explosive plastic compounds.</p>



<p align="left">The neat homemade bomb that really packs a wallop can be made 

from a regular aerosol can that is empty. Remove the nozzle and 

punch in the nipple area on the top of the can. Wash the can out 

with rubbing alcohol and let dry. Fill it gently and lovingly with 

an explosive powder. Add a layer of cotton to the top and insert a 

cherry bomb fuse. Use epoxy glue to hold the fuse in place and seal 

the can. The can should be wiped clean with rubbing alcohol. 

Another safety hint to remember is never store the powder and your 

fuses or other ignition material together. Powder should always be 

treated with a healthy amount of respect. No smoking should go on 

in the assembling area and no striking of hard metals that might 

produce a spark. Use your head and you'll get to keep it.</p>

<h4>

PIPE BOMBS

</h4>

</a>



<p align="left">Perhaps the most widely used homemade concussion bombs are 

those made out of pipe. Perfected by George Metesky, the renown 

New York Mad Bomber, they are deadly, safe, easy to assemble, and 

small enough to transport in your pocket. You want a standard steel 

pipe (two inches in diameter is a good size) that is threaded on 

both ends so you can cap it. The length you use depends on how big 

an explosion is desired. Sizes between 3-10 inches in length have 

been successfully employed. Make sure both caps screw on tightly 

before you insert the powder. The basic idea to remember is that a 

bomb is simply a hot fire burning very rapidly in a tightly 

confined space. The rapidly expanding gases burst against the walls 

of the bomb. If they are trapped in a tightly sealed iron pipe, 

when they finally break out, they do so with incredible force. If 

the bomb itself is placed in a somewhat enclosed area like a 

ventilation shaft, doorway or alleyway, it will in turn convert 

this larger area into a "bomb" and increase the over-all explosion 

immensely.</p>



<p align="left">When you have the right pipe and both caps selected, drill a 

hole in the side of the pipe (before powder is inserted) big enough 

to pull the fuse through. If you are using a firecracker fuse, 

insert the firecracker, pull the fuse through and epoxy it into 

place securely. If you are using long fusing either with a 

detonator (difficult to come by) timing device or a simple 

cancerette fuse, drill two holes and run two lines of fuse into the 

pipe. When you have the fuse rigged to the pipe, you are ready to 

add the powder. Cape one end snugly, making sure you haven't 

trapped any grains of powder in the threads. Wipe the device with 

rubbing alcohol and you're ready to blast off.</p>



<p align="left">A good innovation is to grind down one half of the pipe before 

you insert the powder. This makes the walls of one end thinner than 

the walls of the other end. When you place the bomb, the explosion, 

following the line of least resistance, will head in that 

direction. You can do this with ordinary grinding tools available 

in any hardware or machine shop. Be sure not to have the powder 

around when you are grinding the pipe, since sparks are produced. 

Woodstock Nation contains instructions for more pipe bombs and a 

neat timing device (see pages 115-117).</p>

<h4>

GENERAL BOMB STRATEGY

</h4>

</a>



<p align="left">This section is not meant to be a handbook on explosives. 

Anyone who wishes to become an expert in the field can procure a 

number of excellent books on the subject catalogued in the 

Appendix. In bombing, as in trashing, the same general strategy in 

regard to the selection of targets applies. Never use 

anti-personnel shrapnel bombs. Always be careful in placing the 

devices to keep them away from glass windows and as far away from 

the front of the building as possible. Direct them away from any 

area in which there might be people. Sophisticated electric timers 

should be used only by experts in demolitions. Operate in the wee 

hours of the night and be careful that you don't injure a night 

watchman or guard. Telephone in warnings before the bomb goes off. 

The police record all calls to emergency numbers and occasionally 

people have been traced down by the use of a voice-o-graph. The 

best way to avoid detection is by placing a huge wad of chewed up 

gum on the roof of your mouth before you talk. Using a cloth over 

the phone is not good enough to avoid detection. Be as brief as 

possible and always use a pay phone.</p>



<p align="left">When you get books from companies or libraries dealing with 

explosives or guerrilla warfare, use a phony name and address. 

Always do this if you obtain chemicals from a chemical supply 

house. These places are being increasingly watched by the F.B.I. 

Store your material and literature in a safe cool place and above 

all, keep your big mouth shut!</p>

<h3>

First Aid For Street Fighters

</h3>

</a>



<p align="left">Without intending to spook you, we think it is becoming 

increasingly important for as many people as possible to develop 

basic first aid skills. As revolutionary struggle intensifies, so 

will the number and severity of injuries increase. Reliance on 

establishment medical facilities will become risky. Hospitals that 

border on "riot" areas are used by police to apprehend suspects. 

All violence-induced injuries treated by establishment doctors 

might be reported. Knife and gunshot wounds in all states by law 

must be immediately phoned in for investigation. At times a victim 

has no choice but to run such risks. If you can, use a phony name, 

but everyone should know the location of sympathetic doctors.</p>



<p align="left">Chaos resulting from the gassing, clubbing and shooting 

associated with a police riot also makes personal first aid 

important. Most demonstrations have medical teams that run with the 

people and staff mobile units, but often these become the target of 

assault by the more vicious pigs. Also, in the confusion, there is 

usually too much work for the medical teams. Everyone must take 

responsibility for everyone else if we are to survive in the 

streets. If you spot someone lying unconscious or badly injured, 

take it upon yourself to help the victim. Immediately raise your 

arm or wave your Nation flag and shout for a medic. If the person 

is badly hurt, it is best not to move him, or her, but if there is 

the risk of more harm or the area is badly gassed, the victim 

should be moved to safety. Try to be as gentle as possible. Get 

some people to help you.</p>



<a name="3.06.1">

<h4>

WHAT TO DO

</h4>

</a>



<p align="left">Your attitude in dealing with an injured person is extremely 

important. Don't panic at the sight of blood. Most bloody injuries 

look far worse than they are. Don't get nervous if the victim is 

unconscious. If you're not able to control your own fear about 

treating someone, call for another person. It helps to attend a few 

first aid classes to overcome these fears in practice sessions.</p>



<p align="left">When you approach the victim, identify yourself. Calmly, but 

quickly figure out what's the matter. Check to see if the person is 

alive by feeling for the pulse. There are a number of spots to 

check if the blood is circulating, under the chin near the neck, 

the wrists, and ankles are the most common. Get in the habit of 

feeling a normal pulse. A high pulse (over 100 per minute) usually 

indicates shock. A low pulse indicates some kind of injury to the 

heart or nervous system. Massaging the heart can often restore the 

heartbeat, especially if its loss is due to a severe blow to the 

chest. Mouth-to-mouth resuscitation should be used if the victim is 

not breathing. Both these skills can be mastered in a first aid 

course in less than an hour and should become second nature to 

every street fighter.</p>



<p align="left">When it comes to dealing with bleeding or possible fractures, 

enlisting the victim's help as well as adopting a firm but calm 

manner will be very reassuring. This is important to avoid shock. 

Shock occurs when there is a serious loss of blood and not enough 

is being supplied to the brain. The symptoms are high pulse rate; 

cold, clammy, pale skin; trembling or unconsciousness. Try to keep 

the patient warm with blankets or coats. If a tremendous amount of 

blood has been lost, the victim may need a transfusion. Routine 

bleeding can be stopped by firm direct pressure over the source of 

bleeding for 5 to 10 minutes. If an artery has been cut and 

bleeding is severe, a tourniquet will be needed. Use a belt, scarf 

or torn shirtsleeve. Tie the tourniquet around the arm or leg 

directly above the bleeding area and tighten it until the bleeding 

stops. Do not loosen the tourniquet. Wrap the injured limb in a 

cold wet towel or ice if available and move the person to a doctor 

or hospital before irreparable damage can occur. Don't panic, 

though, you have about six hours.</p>



<p align="left">A painful blow to a limb is best treated with an ice pack and 

elevation of the extremity by resting it on a pillow or rolled-up 

jacket. A severe blow to the chest or side can result in a rib 

fracture which produces sharp pains when breathing and/or coughing 

up blood. Chest X-rays will eventually be needed. Other internal 

injuries can occur from sharp body blows such as kidney injuries. 

They are usually accompanied by nausea, vomiting, shock and 

persistent abdominal pain. If you feel a bad internal injury has 

occurred, get prompt professional help.</p>



<p align="left">Head injuries have to be attended to with more attention than 

other parts of the body. Treat them by stopping the bleeding with 

direct pressure. They should be treated before other injuries as 

they more quickly can cause shock. Every head injury should be 

X-rayed and the injured person should be watched for the next 24 

hours as complications can develop hours after the injury was 

sustained. After a severe blow to the head, be on the look-out for 

excessive sleepiness or difficulty in waking. Sharp and persistent 

headaches, vomiting and nausea, dizziness or difficulty maintaining 

balance are all warning signs. If they occur after a head injury, 

call a doctor.</p>



<p align="left">If a limb appears to be broken or fractured, improvise a 

splint before moving the victim. Place a stiff backing behind the 

limb such as a board or rolled-up magazine and wrap both with a 

bandage. Try to avoid moving the injured limb as this can lead to 

complicating the fracture. Every fracture must be X-rayed to 

evaluate the extent of the injury and subsequent treatment.</p>



<p align="left">Bullet wounds to the abdomen, chest or head, if loss of 

consciousness occurs are extremely dangerous and must be seen by a 

doctor immediately. If the wound occurs in the limb, treat as you 

would any bleeding with direct pressure bandage and tourniquet only 

if nothing else will stop the bleeding.</p>



<p align="left">If you expect trouble, every person going to a street scene 

should have a few minimum supplies in addition to those mentioned 

in the section on Demonstrations for protection. A handful of 

bandaids, gauze pads (4x4), an ace bandage (3 inch width), and a 

roll of 1/2 inch adhesive tape can all easily fit in your pocket. A 

plastic bag with cotton balls pre-soaked in water will come in 

handy in a variety of situations where gas is being used, as will a 

small bottle of mineral oil. You should write the name, phone 

number and address of the nearest movement doctor on your arm with 

a ballpoint pen. Your arm's getting pretty crowded, isn't it? If 

someone is severely injured, it may be better to save their life by 

taking them to a hospital, even though that means probable capture 

for them, rather than try to treat it yourself. However, do not 

confuse the police with the hospital. Many injured people have been 

finished off by the porkers, and that's no joke. It is usually 

better to treat a person yourself rather than let the pigs get 

them, unless they have ambulance equipment right there and don't 

seem vicious. Even then, they will often wait until they get two or 

three victims before making a trip to the hospital.</p>



<p align="left">If you have a special medical problem, such as being a 

diabetic or having a penicillin allergy, you should wear a 

medi-alert tag around your neck indicating your condition. Every 

person who sees a lot of street action should have a tetanus shot 

at least once in every five years.</p>



<p align="left">Know just this much, and it will help to keep down serious 

injuries at demonstrations. A few lessons in a first aid class at 

one of the Free Universities or People's Clinics will go a long way 

in providing you with the confidence and skill needed in the 

street.</p>

<h4>

LEGAL ADVICE

</h4>

</a>



<p align="left">Any discussion about what to do while waiting fur the lawyer 

has to be qualified by pointing out that from the moment of arrest 

through the court appearances, cops tend to disregard a defendant's 

rights. Nonetheless, you should play it according to the book 

whenever possible as you might get your case bounced out on a 

technicality. When you get busted, rule number one is that you have 

the right to remain silent. We advise that you give only your name 

and address. There is a legal dispute about whether or not you are 

obligated under the law to do even that, but most lawyers feel you 

should. The address can be that of a friend if you're uptight about 

the pigs knowing where you live.</p>



<p align="left">When the pigs grab you, chances are they are going to insult 

you, rough you up a little and maybe even try to plant some 

evidence on you. Try to keep your cool. Any struggle on your part, 

even lying on the street limp, can be considered resisting arrest. 

Even if you beat the original charge, you can be found guilty of 

resisting and receive a prison sentence. Often if the pigs beat 

you, they will say that you attacked them and generally charge you 

with assault.</p>



<p align="left">If you are stopped in the street on suspicion (which means 

you're black or have long hair), the police have the right to pat 

you down to see if you are carrying a weapon. They cannot search 

you unless they place you under arrest. Technically, this can only 

be done in the police station where they have the right to examine 

your possessions. Thus, if you are in a potential arrest situation, 

you should refrain from carrying dope, sharp objects that can be 

classified as a weapon, and the names and phone numbers of people 

close to you, like your dealer, your local bomb factory, and your 

friends underground.</p>



<p align="left">Forget about talking your way out of it or escaping once 

you're in the car or paddy wagon. In the police station, insist on 

being allowed to call your lawyer. Getting change might be a 

problem so you should always have a few dimes hidden. Since many 

cases are dismissed because of this, you'll generally be allowed to 

make some calls, but it might take a few hours. Call a close friend 

and tell him to get all the cash that can be quickly raised and 

head down to the court house. Usually the police will let you know 

where you'll be taken. If they don't, just tell your friend what 

precinct you're being held at, and he can call the central police 

headquarters and find out what court you'll be appearing in. Ask 

your friend to also call a lawyer which you also should do if you 

get another phone call. Hang up and dial a lawyer or defense 

committee that has been set up for demonstrations. The lawyer will 

either come to the station or meet you in court depending on the 

severity of the charge and the likelihood you'll be beaten in the 

station. When massive demonstrations are occurring where a number 

of busts are anticipated, it's best to have lawyers placed in 

police stations in the immediate vicinity.</p>



<p align="left">The lawyer will want to know as many details as possible of 

the case so try and concentrate on remembering a number of things 

since the pigs aren't going to let you take notes. If you can, 

remember the name and badge number of the fink that busted you. 

Sometimes they'll switch arresting officers on you. Remember the 

time, location of the bust and any potential witnesses that the 

lawyer might be able to contact.</p>



<p align="left">If you are unable to locate a lawyer, don't panic, the court 

will assign you one at the time of the arraignment. Legal Aid 

lawyers are free and can usually do as good a job as a private 

lawyer at an arraignment. Often they can do better, as the judge 

might set a lower bail if he sees you can't afford a private 

lawyer. The arraignment is probably the first place you'll find out 

what the charges are against you. There will also be a court date 

set and bail established. The amount of bail depends on a variety 

of factors ranging from previous convictions to the judge's 

hangover. It can be put up in collateral, i.e., a bank book, or 

often there is a cash alternative offered which amounts to about 

10% of the total bail.</p>



<p align="left">Your friend should be in the court with some cash (at least a 

hundred dollars is recommended). For very high bail, there are the 

bail bondsmen in the area of the courthouse who will cover the bail 

for a fee,generally not to exceed 5%. You will need some signatures 

of solid citizens to sign the bail papers and perhaps put up some 

collateral.</p>



<p align="left">Once you get bailed out, you should contact a private lawyer, 

preferably one that has experience with your type of case. If you 

are low on bread, check out one of the community or movement legal 

groups in your area. It is not advisable to keep the legal aid 

lawyer beyond the arraignment if at all possible.</p>



<p align="left">If you're in a car or in your home, the police do not have a 

right to search the premises without a search warrant or probable 

cause. Do not consent to any search without a warrant, especially 

if there are witnesses around who can hear you. Without your 

consent, the pigs must prove probable cause in the court. It's 

unbelievable the number of defendants that not only come naked, but 

pull their own pants down. Make the cops kick in the door or break 

open the trunk themselves. You are under no obligation to assist 

them in collecting evidence, and helping them weakens your case.</p>

<h4>

JOIN THE ARMY OF YOUR CHOICE

</h4>

</a>



<p align="left">The first rule of our new Nation prohibits any of us from 

serving in the army of a foreign power with which we do not have an 

alliance. Since we exist in a state of war with the Pig Empire, we 

all have a responsibility to beat the draft by any means necessary.</p>



<p align="left">First check out your medical history. Review every chronic or 

long-term illness you ever had. Be sure to put down all the serious 

infections like mono or hep. Next, make note of your physical 

complications. When you have assembled a complete list, get a copy 

of Physical Deferments or one of the other draft counseling manuals 

and see if you qualify. If you have a legitimate deferment, 

document it with a letter from a doctor.</p>



<p align="left">The next best deal is a Conscientious Objection status (C.O.) 

or a psychiatric deferment (psycho). The laws have been getting 

progressively broader in defining C.O. status during the past few 

year s. The most recent being, "sincere moral objections to war," 

without necessarily a belief in a supreme being. There are general 

guidelines sent out by the National Office of Selective Service 

that say it is a matter of conscience. The decision, however, is 

still pretty much in the hands of the local board. Visit a Draft 

Counseling Center if you feel you have a chance for this type of 

story. They'll know how your local board tends to rule. There are 

still some more cases to be heard by the Supreme Court before 

objection to a particular war is allowed or disallowed. It is not 

grounds for deferment as of now.</p>



<p align="left">Psychos are our specialty. Chromosome damage has totally wiped 

out our minds when it comes to concentrating on killing innocent 

people in Asia. When you get your invite to join the army, there 

are lots of ways you can prepare yourself mentally. Begin by 

staggering up to a cop and telling him you don't know who you are 

or where you live. He'll arrange for you to be chauffeured to the 

nearest mental hospital. There you repeat your performance, 

dropping the clue that you have used LSD in the past, but you 

aren't sure if you're on it now or not. In due time, they'll put 

you up for the night. When morning comes, you bounce out of bed, 

remember who you are, swear you'll never drop acid again and thank 

everyone who took care of you. Within a few hours, you'll be 

discharged. Don't be uptight about thinking how they'll lock you up 

forever cause you really are nuts. The hospitals measure victories 

by how quickly they can throw you out the door. They are all 

overcrowded anyway.</p>



<p align="left">In most areas, a one-night stand in a mental hospital is 

enough to convince the shrink at the induction center that you're 

capable of eating the flesh of a colonel. Just before you go, see a 

sympathetic psychiatrist and explain your sad mental shape. He'll 

get verification that you did time in a hospital and include it in 

his letter, that you'll take along to the induction center.</p>



<p align="left">When you get to the physical examination, a high point in any 

young man's life, there are lots of things working in your favor. 

Here, long hair helps; the army doesn't want to bother with 

trouble-makers. Remember this even though a tough looking sergeant 

runs down bullshit about "how they're gonna fix your ass" and 

"anybody with a trigger finger gets passed." He's just auditioning 

for the Audie Murphy movies, so don't believe anything he lays 

down.</p>



<p align="left">Talk to the other guys about how rotten the war in Vietnam is 

and how if you get forced to go, you'll end up shooting some 

officers. Tell them you'd like the training so you can come back 

and take up with the Weathermen.</p>



<p align="left">Check off as many items as can't be verified when given the 

forms. Suicide, dizzy spells, bed-wetting, dope addiction, 

homosexuality, hepatitis. Be able to drop a few symptoms on the 

psychiatrist to back up your story of rejection by a cold and 

brutal society that was indifferent, from a domineering father that 

beat you, and mother that didn't understand anything. Be able to 

trace your history of bad family relationships, your taking to the 

streets at 15 and eventually your getting "hooked."  Let him "pry" 

things out of you if possible. Show him your letter if you had the 

foresight to get one.</p>



<p align="left">Practice a good story before you go for the physical with 

someone who has already beat the system. If your local board is 

fucked up, you can transfer to an area that disqualifies almost 

everyone who wants out, such as the New York City boards. If you 

can't think of anything you can always get FUCK ARMY tattooed on 

the outside of the baby finger of your right hand and give the 

tough sergeant a snappy salute and a hearty "yes sir!"<b>*</b></p>



<p align="left"><b>*</b>If unfortunately you get hauled in. The Army gives you a life 

insurance policy. By making Dan Berrigan or Angela Davis the 

beneficiary you might avoid front-line duty.</p>

<h4>

CANADA, SWEDEN & POLITICAL ASYLUM

</h4>

</a>



<p align="left">If you've totally fucked up your chances of getting a 

deferment or already are in the service and considering ditching, 

there are some things that you should know about asylum.</p>



<p align="left">There are three categories of countries that you should be 

interested in if you are planning to ship out to avoid the draft or 

a serious prison term. The safest countries are those with which 

Amerika has mutual offense treaties such as Cuba, North Korea and 

those behind the so-called Iron Curtain. The next safest are 

countries unfriendly to the U.S. but suffer the possibility of a 

military coup which might radically affect your status. Cambodia is 

a recent example of a border-line country. Some cats hijacked a 

ship bound for Vietnam and went to Cambodia where they were granted 

asylum. Shortly thereafter the military with a good deal of help 

from the CIA, took over and now the cats are in jail. Algeria is 

currently a popular sanctuary in this category.</p>



<p align="left">Sweden will provide political asylum for draft dodgers and 

deserters. It helps to have a passport, but even that isn't 

necessary since they are required by their own laws to let you in. 

There are now about 35,000 exiles from the Pig Empire living in 

Sweden. The American Deserters Committee, Upplandsgaten 18, 

Stockholm, phone 08-344663, will provide you with immediate help, 

contacts and procedural information once you get there. If you 

enter as a tourist with a passport, you can just go to the local 

police station, state you are seeking asylum and fill out a form. 

It's that sample. They stamp your passport and this allows you to 

hustle rent and food from the Swedish Social Bureau. It takes six 

months for you to get working papers that will permit you to get 

employment, but you can live on welfare until then with no hassle. 

The following places can be contacted, for additional help. They 

are all in Stockholm:</p>



<ul>

<li>Reverend Tom Hayes 82-42-11 or 21-45-86

<li>Kristina Nystrom of the Social Bureau 08-230570

<li>Bengt Suderstrom 31-84-32 (legal)

<li>Hans-Goran Franck 10-25-02(legal)

</ul>



<p align="left">Canada does not offer political asylum but they do not support 

the U.S. foreign policy in Southeast Asia so they allow draft 

dodgers and deserters to the current tune of 50,000 to live there 

unmolested. Do not tell the officials at the border that you are a 

deserter or draft dodger, as they will turn you in. Pose as a 

visitor. To work in Canada you have to qualify for landed 

immigration status under a point system.</p>



<p align="left">There will be a number of background questions asked and you 

have to score 50 points or better to pass and qualify. You get one 

point for each year of formal education, 10 points if you have a 

professional skill, 10 points for being between 18-35 years of age, 

more points for having a Canadian home and job waiting for you, for 

knowing English or French and a whopping 15 points for having a 

stereotyped middle class appearance and life-style. Letters from a 

priest or rabbi will help here. Some entry points are easier than 

others. Kingsgate, for example, just north of Montana is very good 

on weekdays after 10:00 P.M.</p>



<p align="left">The best approach if you are considering going to Canada is to 

write or, better still, visit the Montreal Council to Aid War 

Resisters, Case Postale 5, Westmount, Montreal, 215 Quebec or 

American Deserters Committee, 3837 Blvd., Saint Laurent, St. Louis, 

Montreal 3, Quebec. They will provide you with the latest info on 

procedures and the problems of living in Canada as a war resister. 

If you can't make it up there, see a local anti-war organization 

for counseling. If you are already in the army, you should find out 

all you need to know before you ditch. It's best to cross the 

border while you're on leave as it might mean the difference 

between going AWOL and desertion if you decide to come back. In any 

event, no one should renounce their citizenship until they have 

qualified for landed immigration status as that would classify the 

person as a non-resident and make it possible for the Canadian 

police to send you back, which on a few rare occasions has 

happened.</p>



<p align="left">Because there have been few cases of fugitives from the U.S. 

seeking political asylum, there is not a clear and ample formula 

that can be stated. Germany, France, Belgium and Sweden will often 

offer asylum for obvious political cases but each case must be 

considered individually. Go there incognito. Contact a movement 

organization or lawyer and have them make application to the 

government. Usually they will let you stay if you promise not to 

engage in political organizing in their country. In any event if 

they deport you these countries are good enough to let you pick the 

country to which you desire to be sent.</p>



<p align="left">We feel it's our obligation to let people know that life in 

exile is not all a neat deal, not by a long shot. You are removed 

from the struggle here at home, the problems of finding work are 

immense and the customs of the people are strange to you. Most 

people are unhappy in exile. Many return, some turn themselves in 

and others come back to join the growing radical underground making 

war in the belly of the great white whale.</p>

<h4>

SHOPLIFTING

</h4>

</a>



<p align="left">This section presents some general guidelines on thievery to 

put you ahead of the impulse swiping. With some planning ahead, 

practice and a little nerve, you can pick up on some terrific 

bargains.</p>



<p align="left">Being a successful shoplifter requires the development of an 

outlaw mentality. When you enter a store you should already have 

cased the joint so don't browse around examining all sorts of 

items, staring over your shoulder and generally appearing like 

you're about to snatch something and are afraid of getting caught. 

Enter, having a good idea of what you want and where it's located.</p>



<p align="left">Camouflage is important. Be sure you dress the part by looking 

like an average customer. If you are going to rip-off expensive 

stores (why settle for less), act like you have a chauffeur driven 

car double parked around the corner. A good rule is dress in the 

style and price range of the clothes, etc., you are about to 

shoplift. The reason we recommend the more expensive stores is that 

they tend to have less security guards, relying instead on 

mechanical methods or more usually on just the sales people. Many 

salespeople are uptight about carrying out a bust if they catch 

you. A large number are thieves themselves, in fact one good way to 

steal is simply explain to the salesclerk that you're broke and ask 

if you can take something without paying. It's a great way to 

radicalize shop personnel by rapping to them about why they 

shouldn't give a shit if the boss gets ripped off.</p>



<p align="left">The best time to work out is on a rainy, cold day during a 

busy shopping season. Christmas holiday is a shoplifter's paradise. 

In these periods you can wear heavy overcoats or loose raincoats 

without attracting suspicion. The crowds of shoppers will keep the 

nosy "can-I-help-you's" from fucking up your style.</p>



<p align="left">Since you have already checked out the store before hitting 

it, you'll know the store's "blind-spots" where you can be busy 

without being observed too easily. Dressing rooms, blind alley 

aisles and washrooms are some good spots. Know where the cashier's 

counter is located, where the exits to the street and storage rooms 

are to be found, and most important, the type of security system in 

use.</p>



<p align="left">If you are going to snatch in the dressing room, be sure to 

carry more than one item in with you. Don't leave tell-tale empty 

hangers behind. Take them out and ditch them in the aisles.</p>



<p align="left">An increasingly popular method of security is a small 

shoplifting plastic detector attached to the price tag. It says "Do 

Not Remove" and if you do, it electronically triggers an alarm in 

the store. If you try to make it out the door, it also trips the 

alarm system. When a customer buys the item, the cashier removes 

the detector with a special deactivation machine. When you enter 

the store, notice if the door is rigged with electronic eyes. They 

are often at the waist level, which means if the item is strapped 

to your calf or tucked under your hat, you can walk out without a 

peep from the alarm. If you trigger the alarm either inside the 

store or at the threshold, just dash off lickety-split. The 

electronic eyes are often disguised as part of the decor. By 

checking to see what the cashier does with merchandise bought, you 

can be sure if the store is rigged. Other methods are undercover 

pigs that look like shoppers, one-way mirrors and remote control 

television cameras. Undercover pigs are expensive so stores are 

usually understaffed. Just watch out (without appearing to watch 

out) that no one observes you in action. As to mirrors and cameras 

there are always blind spots in a store created when displays are 

moved around, counters shifted, and boxes piled in the aisles. 

Mirrors and cameras are rarely adjusted to fit these changes.  

Don't get turned off by this security jazz. The percentage of 

stores that have sophisticated security systems such as those 

described is very small. If you work out at lunch time, the 

security guards and many of the sales personnel will be out of the 

store. Just before closing is also good, because the clerks are 

concentrating on going home.</p>



<p align="left">By taking only one or two items, you can prevent a bust if 

caught by just acting like a dizzy klepto socialite getting kicks 

or use the "Oh-gee-I-forgot-to-pay" routine. Stores don't want to 

hassle going into court to press charges, so they usually let you 

go after you return the stuff. If you thought ahead, you'll have 

some cash ready to pay for the items you've pocketed, if caught. 

Leave your I.D. and phone book at home before going shopping. 

People rarely go to jail for shoplifting, most if caught never even 

see a real cop. Just lie like a fucker and the most you'll get is a 

lecture on law and order and a warning not to come back to that 

store or else.</p>

<h4>

TECHNIQUES

</h4>

</a>



<p align="left">The lining of a bulky overcoat or loose raincoat can be 

elaborately outfitted with a variety of custom-made large pockets. 

The openings to these pockets are not visible since they are inside 

the coat. The outside pockets can be torn out leaving only the 

opening or slit. Thus you can reach your hand (at counter level) 

through the slit in your coat and drop objects into the secret 

pockets sewn into the lining. Pants can also be rigged with secret 

pockets. The idea is to let your fingers do the walking through the 

slit in your coat, while the rest of the body remains the casual 

browser. You'll be amazed at how much you can tuck away without any 

noticeable bulge.</p>



<p align="left">Another method is to use a hidden belt attached to the inside 

of your coat or pants. The belt is specially designed with hooks or 

clothespins to which items can be discretely attached. Ditching 

items into hidden pockets requires a little cunning. You should 

practice before a mirror until you get good at it.</p>



<p align="left">A good idea is to work with a partner. Dig this neat duet. A 

man and woman walk into a store together looking like a respectable 

husband and wife. The man purchases a good belt or shirt and 

engages the salesman in some distracting conversation as he rings 

up the sale. Meanwhile, back in the aisle, "wife" is busy rolling 

up two or three suits. Start from the bottom while they are still 

on the rack and roll them up, pants and jackets together, the way 

you would roll a sleeping bag. The sleeves are tied around the roll 

making a neat little bundle. The bundle is then tucked between your 

thighs. The whole operation takes about a minute and with some 

practice you can walk for hours with a good size bundle between 

your legs and not appear like you just shit in your pants. Try this 

with a coat on in front of a mirror and see how good you get at it.</p>



<p align="left">Another team method is for one or more partners to distract 

the sales clerks while the other stuffs. There are all sorts of 

theater skits possible. One person can act drunk or better still 

appear to be having an epileptic fit. Two people can start a fight 

with each other. There are loads of ways, just remember how they do 

it in the next spy movie you see.</p>



<p align="left">One of the best gimmicks around is the packaging technique. 

Once you have the target item in hand, head for the fitting room or 

other secluded spot. Take out a large piece of gift wrapping and 

ribbon. Quickly wrap up the item so it will look like you brought 

it in with you. Many stores have their own bags and staple the cash 

register receipt to the top of the bag when you make a purchase. 

Get a number of these bags by saving them if you make a purchase or 

dropping around to the receiving department with a request for some 

bags for your Christmas play or something. Next collect some sales 

receipts, usually from the sidewalk or trash cans in front of the 

store. Buy or rip-off a small pocket stapler for less than a 

dollar. When you get the item you want, drop it in the bag and 

staple it closed, remembering to attach the receipt. This is an 

absolutely perfect method and takes just a few seconds. It 

eliminates a lot of unsightly bulges in your coat and is good for 

warm-weather heisting.</p>



<p align="left">A dummy shopping bag can be rigged with a bit of ingenuity. 

The idea is to make it look like the bag is full when there's still 

lots of room left. Use strips of cardboard taped to the inside of 

the bag to give it some body. Remember to carry it like it's filled 

with items, not air. Professional heisters often use a "booster 

box," usually a neatly wrapped empty package with one end that 

opens upon touch. This is ideal for electrical appliances, jewelry, 

and even heavy items such as portable television sets. The trick 

side can be fitted with a spring door so once the toaster is inside 

the door slams shut. Don't wear a black hat and cape and go around 

waving a wand yelling "Abracadabra," just be your usual shlep 

shopper self. If you can manage it, the trick side just can be an 

opening without a trick door. Just carry the booster box with the 

open side pressed against your body. Briefcases, suitcases and 

other types of carrying devices can all be made to hold items. Once 

you have something neatly tucked away in a bag or box, it's pretty 

hard to prove you didn't come in with it.</p>

<h4>

ON THE JOB

</h4>

</a>



<p align="left">By far the easiest and most productive method of stealing is 

on the job. Wages paid to delivery boys, sales clerks, shippers, 

cashiers and the like are so insulting that stealing really is a 

way of maintaining self-respect. If you are set on stealing the 

store dry when you apply for the job, begin with your best foot 

forward. Make what employment agencies call a "good appearance." 

Exude cleanliness, Godliness, sobriety and all the other WASPy 

virtues third grade teachers insist upon. Building up a good front 

will eliminate suspicion when things are "missing."</p>



<p align="left">Mail clerks and delivery boys can work all sorts of neat 

tricks. When things get a little slow, type up some labels 

addressed to yourself or to close friends and play Santa Claus. 

Wrap yourself a few packages or take one that is supposed to go to 

a customer and put your label over theirs. Blame it on the post 

office or on the fact that "things get messed up `cause of all the 

bureaucracy." It's great to be the one to verbalize the boss's own 

general feelings before he does when something goes awry. The best 

on-the-job crooks always end up getting promoted.</p>



<p align="left">Cashiers and sales persons who have access to money can pick 

up a little pocket change without too much effort, no matter how 

closely they are watched by supervisors. Women can make use of torn 

hems to stash coins and bills. Men can utilize cuffs. Both can use 

shoes and don't forget those secret little pockets you learned 

about in the last section. If you ring up items on a cash register, 

you can easily mistake $1.39 for 39� or $1.98 for 98� during the 

course of a hectic day. Leave pennies on the top shelf of the cash 

register and move one to the far right side every time you skip a 

dollar. That way at the end of the day, you'll know how much to 

pocket and won't have to constantly be stuffing, stuffing, 

stuffing.</p>



<p align="left">If you pick up trash or clean up, you can stick all sorts of 

items into wastebaskets and later sneak them out of the store.</p>



<p align="left">There are many ways of working heists with partners who pose 

as customers. See the sections on free food and clothing for these. 

There are also ways of working partnerships on the job. A cashier 

at a movie theater and a doorman can work out a system where the 

doorman collects the tickets and returns them to the cashier to 

sell again.</p>



<p align="left">A neat way to make a large haul is to get a job through an 

agency as a domestic for some rich slob. You should use a phony 

identification when you sign up at the agency. Once you are busy 

dusting the town house, check around for anything valuable to be 

taken home. Pick up the phone, order all sorts of merchandise, and 

have it delivered. A friend with a U-haul can help you really clean 

up.</p>



<a name="3.08.4">

<h4>

CREDIT CARDS

</h4>

</a>



<p align="left">Any discussion of shoplifting and forgeries inevitably leads 

to a rap on credit cards; those little shiny plastic wonder passes 

to fantasy land that are rendering cash obsolete. There are many 

ways to land a free credit card. You can get one yourself if your 

credit is good, or from a friend: report it stolen and go on a 

binge around town. Sign your name a little funny. Super underworld 

types might know where you can purchase a card that's not too hot 

on the black market. You might heist one at a fashionable party or 

restaurant. If you're a hat check girl at a night club, don't 

forget to check out pockets and handbags for plastic goodies.<b>*</b></p>



<p align="left">Finally, you can redo a legitimate card with a new number and 

signature and be sure that it's on no one's "hot list." Begin by 

removing the ink on the raised letters with any polyester resin 

cleaner. Next, the plastic card should be held against a flat iron 

until the raised identification number is melted. You can use a 

razor blade to shave off rough spots. This combination of razor 

blade and hot iron, when worked skillfully, will produce a perfect 

blank card. When the card is smooth as new, reheat it using the 

flat iron and press an addressograph plate into the soft plastic. 

The ink can be replaced by matching the original at any stationary 

store. If this is too hard, you can buy machines to make your own 

credit cards, which are made for small department stores. Granted, 

this method is going require some expertise, but once you've 

learned to successfully forge a credit card, buy every item 

imaginable, eat fancy meals, and even get real money from a bank.</p>



<p align="left"><b>*</b>The absolute best method is to have an accomplice working in the 

post office rip off the new cards that are mailed out. They get to 

know quickly which envelopes contain new credit cards. Since the 

person never receives the card it never dawns on them to report it 

stolen. This gives you at least a solid month of carefree spending 

and your signature will be perfect.</p>



<p align="left">Whether your credit card is stolen, borrowed or forged, you 

still have to follow some guidelines to get away without any 

hassle. Know the store's checking method before you pass the hot 

card. Most stores have a fifty-dollar limit where they only call 

upstairs on items costing fifty dollars or more. In some stores 

it's less. Some places have a Regiscope system that takes your 

picture with each purchase. You should always carry at least one 

piece of back-up identification to use with the phony card as the 

clerk might get suspicious if you don't have any other ID. They can 

check out a "hot list" that the credit card companies send out 

monthly, so if you're uptight about anything watch the clerk's 

movements at all times. If things get tight, just split real quick. 

Often, even if a clerk or boss thinks it's a phony, they'll OK the 

sale anyway since the credit card companies make good to the stores 

on all purchases; legit or otherwise. Similarly, the insurance 

companies make good to the credit companies and so on until you get 

to a little group of hard working elves in the basement of the U.S. 

Mint who do nothing but print free money and lie to everybody about 

there being tons of gold at Fort Knox to back up their own little 

forging operation.</p>

<h3>

Monkey Warfare

</h3>

</a>



<p align="left">If you like Halloween, you'll love monkey warfare. It's ideal 

for people uptight about guns, bombs and other children's toys, and 

allows for imaginative forms of protesting, many of which will 

become myth, hence duplicated and enlarged upon. A syringe (minus 

the needle) or a cooking baster can be filled with a dilute 

solution of epoxy glue. Get the two tubes in a hardware store and 

squeeze into a small bottle of rubbing alcohol. Shake real good and 

pour into the baster or syringe. You have about thirty minutes 

before the mixture gets too hard to use. Go after locks, parking 

meters, and telephones. You can fuck up the companies that use IBM 

cards by buying a cheap punch or using an Exacto knife and cutting 

an extra hole in the card before you return it with your payment. 

By the way, when you return payments always pay a few cents under 

or over. The company has to send you a credit or another bill and 

it screws up their bookkeeping system. Remember, always bend, fold, 

staple or otherwise mutilate the card. By the way if you ever find 

yourself in a computer room during a strike, you might want to fuck 

up the school records. You can do this by passing a large magnet or 

portable electro-magnet rapidly back and forth across the reels of 

tape, thus erasing them. And don't miss the tour of the IBM plant, 

either.</p>



<p align="left">Another good bit is to rent a safe deposit box (only about 

$7.00 a year) in a bank using a phony name. That usually only need 

a signature and don't ask for identification. When you get a box, 

deposit a good size dead fish inside the deposit box, close it up 

and return it to its proper niche. From then on, forget about it. 

Now think about it, in a few months there is going to be a 

hell-of-a-smell from your small investment. It's going to be almost 

impossible to trace and besides, they can never open the box 

without your permission. Since you don't exist, they'll have no 

alternative but to move away. Invest in the Stank of Amerika 

savings program. Just check out Lake Erie and you'll see saving 

fish isn't such a dumb idea. If you get caught, tell them you 

inherited the fish from your grandmother and it has sentimental 

value.</p>



<p align="left">There are lots of things you can send banks, draft boards and 

corporations that contribute to pollution via the mails. It is 

possible to also have things delivered. Have a hearse and flowers 

sent to the chief of police. We know someone who had a truckload of 

cement dumped in the driveway of her boss under the fib that the 

driveway was going to be repaved.</p>



<p align="left">By getting masses of people to use electricity, phones or 

water at a given time, you can fuck up some not-so-public utility. 

The whole problem is getting the word out. For example, 10,000 

people turning on all their electrical appliances and lights in 

their homes at a given time can cause a blackout in any major city. 

A hot summer day at about 3:00 PM is best. Five thousand people 

calling up Washington, D.C. at 3:00 PM on a Friday (one of the 

busiest hours) ties up the major trunk lines and really puts a 

cramp in the government's style of carrying on. Call (202) 

555-1212, which is information and you won't even have to pay for 

the call. If you call a government official, ask some questions 

like "How many kids did you kill today?" or "What kind of liquor do 

Congressmen drink?" or offer to take Teddy Kennedy for a ride. A 

woman can cause some real excitement by calling a Congressman's 

office and screaming "Tell that bastard he forgot to meet Irene at 

the motel this afternoon."</p>



<p align="left">A Washington call-in would work even better by phoning direct 

to homes of the big boys. For starters you can call collect the 

following<b>*</b>:</p>

<p align="left">If you want to give Ma Bell an electric permanent, consider 

this nasty. Cut the female device off an ordinary extension cord 

and expose the two wires. Unscrew the mouthpiece on the phone and 

remove the voice amplifier. You will see a red and a black wire  

attached to two terminals. Attach each of the wires from the 

extension cord to each one from the phone. Next plug in the 

extension cord to a wall socket. What you are doing is sending 120 

volts of electricity back through equipment which is built for only 

volts. You can knock off thousands of phones, switchboards and 

devices if all goes right. It's best to do this on the phone in a 

large office building or university. You certainly will knock out 

their fuses. Unfortunately, at home your own phone will probably be 

knocked out of commission. If that happens, simply call up the 

business office and complain. They'll give you a new phone just the 

way they give the other seven million people that requested them 

that day.</p>

Piece Now

</h3>

</a>



<p align="left">It's ridiculous to talk about a revolution without a few words 

on guns. If you haven't been in the army or done some hunting, you 

probably have a built-in fear against guns that can only be 

overcome by familiarizing yourself with them.</p>



<a name="3.10.1">

<h4>

HANDGUNS

</h4>

</a>



<p align="left">There are two basic types of handguns or pistols: the 

revolver carries a load of 5 or 6 bullets in a "revolving" 

chamber. The automatic usually holds the same number, but some 

can hold up to 14 bullets. Also, in the automatic the bullets 

can be already packed in a magazine which quickly snaps into 

position in the handle. The revolver must be reloaded one 

bullet at a time. An automatic can jam on rare occasions, or 

misfire, but with a revolver you just pull the trigger and 

there's a new bullet ready to fire. Despite pictures of Roy 

Rogers blasting a silver dollar out of the sky, handguns are 

difficult to master a high degree of accuracy with and are 

only good at short ranges. If you can hit a pig-size object at 

25 yards, you've been practicing.</p>



<p align="left">Among automatics, the Colt 45 is a popular model with a long 

record of reliability. A good popular favorite is a Parabellum 9 

mm, which has the advantage of a double action on the first shot, 

meaning that the hammer does not have to be cocked, making possible 

a quick first shot without carrying a cocked gun around. By the 

way, do not bother with any handgun smaller than a .38 caliber, 

because cartridges smaller than that are too weak to be effective.</p>



<p align="left">Revolvers come in all sizes and makes, as do automatics.  The 

most highly recommended are the .38 Special and the .357 Magnum. 

Almost all police forces use the .38 Special. They are light, 

accurate and the small-frame models are easy to conceal. If you get 

one, use high velocity hollow pointed bullets, such as the Speer 

DWM (146 grain h.p.) or the Super Vel (110 grain h.p.). The hollow 

point shatters on contact, insuring a kill to the not-so-straight 

shooters. Smith and Wesson makes the most popular .38 Special. The 

Charter Arms is a favorite model. The .357 Magnum is an extremely 

powerful handgun. You can shoot right through the wall of a thick 

door with one at a distance of 20 yards. It has its own ammo, but 

can also use the bullets designed for the .38. Both guns are about 

the same in price, running from $75-$100 new. An automatic 

generally runs about $25 higher.</p>



<a name="3.10.2">

<h4>

RIFLES

</h4>

</a>



<p align="left">There are two commonly available types of rifles; the bolt 

action and the semi-automatic. War surplus bolt action rifles are 

cheap and usually pretty accurate, but have a slower rate of fire 

than a semi-automatic. A semi-automatic is preferable in nearly all 

cases. The M-1 carbine is probably the best semi-automatic for the 

money (about $80). It's light, short, easy to handle and has only 

the drawback of a cartridge that's a little underpowered. Among 

bolt actions, the Springfield, Mauser, Royal Enfield, Russian 7.62, 

and the Lee Harvey Oswald Special, the Mannlicher-Carcano, are all 

good buys for the money (about $20).</p>



<p align="left">One of the best semi-automatics is the AR-18, which is the 

civilian version of the military M-16. In general, this is a 

fantastic gun with a high rate of fire, minimal recoil, high 

accuracy, light weight, and easy maintenance. If kept clean, it 

will rarely jam, and the bullet has astounding stopping power. It 

sells for around $225.</p>

<h4>

SHOTGUNS

</h4>

</a>



<p align="left">The shotgun is the ideal defensive weapon. It's perfect for 

the vamping band of pigs or hard-heads that tries to lynch you. 

Being a good shot isn't that necessary because a shotgun shoots a 

bunch of lead pellets that spread over a wide range as they leave 

the barrel. There are two common types: the pump action and the 

semi-automatic. Single shot types and double-barrel types do not 

have a high enough rate of fire for self-defense.</p>



<p align="left">The pump action is easy to use and reliable. It usually holds 

about five shells in a tube underneath the barrel. For self-defense 

you should use 00 buckshot shells. Shotguns come in various gauges, 

but you will want the largest commonly available, the 12 gauge. The 

Mossberg Model 500 A is a super weapon in this category which sells 

for about $90. When buying one, try to get a shotgun with a barrel 

as short as possible up to the legal limit of 18 inches. It is easy 

to cut down a longer barrel, too. This increases the area sprayed.</p>



<p align="left">The semi-automatic gun is not used too much for self-defense, 

as they usually hold only three shells. With some practice, you can 

shoot a pump nearly as fast as a semi-automatic, and they are much 

cheaper. See the gun books catalogued in the Appendix for more 

information.</p>



<p align="left">There are many other good guns available, and a great deal to 

know about choosing the right gun for the right situation. Reading 

a little right wing gun literature will help.</p>

<h4>

OTHER WEAPONS

</h4>

</a>



<p align="left">If you are around a military base, you will find it relatively 

easy to get your hands on an M-79 grenade launcher, which is like a 

giant shotgun and is probably the best self-defense weapon of all 

time. Just inquire discreetly among some long-haired soldiers.</p>

<h4>

TRAINING

</h4>

</a>



<p align="left">Owning a gun ain't shit unless you know how to use it. They 

make a hell of a racket when fired so you just can't work out in 

your den or cellar except with a BB gun, which is good in between 

real practice sessions. Find a buddy who served in the military or 

is into hunting or target-shooting and ask him to teach you the 

fundamentals of gun handling and safety. If you're over 18, you can 

practice on one of your local firing ranges. Look them up in the 

Yellow Pages, call and see if they offer instructions. They are 

usually pretty cheap to use. In an hour, you can learn the basics 

you need to know about guns and the rest is mostly practice, 

practice, just like in the westerns. Contact the National Rifle 

Association, Washington D.C. and ask for information on forming a 

gun club. If you can, you are entitled to great discounts, have no 

trouble using ranges and get excellent info on all matters relating 

to weapons.</p>



<p align="left">A secluded place in the country outside city limits, makes an 

ideal range for practicing. Shoot at positioned targets. A good 

idea is to blow up balloons and attach them to pieces or boxes.  

Position yourself downstream alongside a running brook. A partner 

can go upstream and release the balloons into the water. As they 

rush downstream, they simulate an attacker charging you and make 

excellent moving targets. Watch out for ricochetting bullets. Have 

any bystander stand by behind you. A clothesline with a pulley 

attachment can be rigged up to also allow practice with a moving 

target.</p>

<h4>

GUN LAWS

</h4>

</a>



<p align="left">Once you decide to get a gun, check out the local laws. There 

are federal ones, but they're not stricter than any state 

ordinance. If you're unsure about the laws, send 75� to the U.S. 

Government Printing Office for the manual called Published 

Ordinances: Firearms. It runs down the latest on all state laws. In 

most states you can buy a rifle or shotgun just for the bread from 

a store or individual if you are over 18 years old. You can get a 

handgun when you can prove you're over 21, although you generally 

need a special permit to carry it concealed on your person or in  

your car. A concealed weapon permit is pretty hard to get unless 

you're part of the establishment. You can keep a handgun in your 

home, though. It's also generally illegal to walk around with a 

loaded gun of any type. Once you get the hang of using a gun, 

you'll never want to go back to the old peashooter.</p>

<h3>

The Underground

</h3>

</a>



<p align="left">Amerika is just another Latin dictatorship. Those who have 

doubts, should try the minimal experience of organizing a large 

rock festival in their state<b>*</b>, sleeping on some beach in the summer 

or wearing a flag shirt. Ask the blacks what it's been like living 

under racism and you'll get a taste of the future we face. As the 

repression increases so will the underground-deadly groups of 

stoned revolutionaries sneaking around at night and balling all 

day. As deadly as their southern comrades the Tupamaros. Political 

trials will only occur when the heavy folks are caught. Too many 

sisters and brothers have been locked up for long stretches having 

maintained a false faith in the good will of the court system. 

Instead, increased numbers have chosen to become fugitives from 

injustice: Bernadine Dohrn, Rap Brown, Mark Rudd, hundreds of 

others. Some including Angela Davis, Father Berrigan and Pun 

Plamondon have been apprehended and locked in cages, but most roam 

freely and actively inside the intestines of the system. Their 

growth leads to persistent indigestion for those who sit at the 

tables of power. As they form into active isolated cells they make 

apprehension difficult. Soon the FBI will have a Thousand Most 

Wanted List. Our heroes will be hunted like beasts in the jungle. 

Anyone who provides information leading to the arrest of a fugitive 

is a traitor.</p>



<p align="left"><b>*</b>Unless you want to use our music to attack our politics as the 

governor of Oregon did to drain support away from demonstrations 

against the AmeriKKKan Legion. In such a situation the concert 

should be sabotaged along with political education as to why such 

an action has been taken. Don't let the pigs separate our culture 

from our politics.</p>



<p align="left">Well fellow reader, what will you do when Rap or Bernadine 

call up and ask to crash for the night? What if the Armstrong 

Brothers want to drop some acid at your pad or Kathy Boudin needs 

some bread to keep on truckin'? The entire youth culture, everyone 

who smiles secretly when President Agnew and General Mitchell refer 

to the growing number of "hot-headed revolutionaries", all the 

folks who hope the Cong wins, who cheer the Tupamaros on, who want 

to exchange secret handshakes with the Greek resistance movement, 

who say "It's about time" when the pigs get gunned down in the 

black community, all of us have an obligation to support the 

underground. They are the vanguard of our revolution and in a sense 

this book is dedicated to their courage.</p>



<p align="left">If you see a fugitive's picture on the post office wall take 

it home for a souvenir. But watch out, because this is illegal. 

Soon the FBI will be printing all our posters for free. Right on, 

FBI! Print up wanted posters of the war criminals in Washington and 

undercover agents (be absolutely sure) and put them up instead. 

Since the folks underground move freely among us, we must be 

totally cool if by chance we recognize a fugitive through their 

disguise. If they deem it necessary to contact you, they will make 

the first move. If you are very active in the aboveground movement, 

chances are you are being watched or tapped and it would be 

foolhardy to make contact. The underground would be meaningless 

without the building of a massive community with corresponding 

political goals. People above ground demonstrate their love for 

fugitives by continuing and intensifying their own commitment.</p>



<p align="left">If the FBI or local subversive squad of the police department 

is asking a lot of questions about certain fugitives, get the word 

out. Call your underground paper or make the announcement at large 

movement gatherings or music festivals; the grapevine will pass 

information on to those that need to know.</p>



<p align="left">If you're forced to go underground, don't think you need to 

link up with the more well-known groups such as the Weathermen. If 

you go under with some close friends, stick together if it's 

possible. Build contacts with aboveground people that are not that 

well known to the authorities and can be totally trusted.</p>



<p align="left">You should change the location in which you operate and move 

to a place where the heat on yon won't be as heavy. A good disguise 

should be worked out. The more information the authorities have on 

you and the heavier the charges determine how complete your 

disguise should be. There are some good tips in the books on 

make-up listed in the Appendix. Only in rare cases is it necessary 

to abandon the outward appearance of belonging to the youth 

culture. In fact, even J. Edgar Freako admits that our culture is 

our chief defense. To infiltrate the youth culture means becoming 

one of us. For an FBI agent to learn an ideological cover is a 

highly disciplined organization is relatively easy. To penetrate 

the culture means changing the way they live. The typical agent 

would stand out like Jimmy Stewart in a tribe of Apaches.</p>



<p align="left">In the usual case the authorities do not look for a fugitive 

in the sense of carrying on a massive manhunt. Generally, people 

are caught for breaking some minor offense and during the routine 

arrest procedure, their fingerprints give them away. Thus for a 

fugitive having good identification papers being careful about 

violations such as speeding or loitering, and not carrying weapons 

or bombing manuals become an important part of the security. It is 

also a good idea to have at least a hundred dollars cash on you at 

all times. Often even if you are arrested you can bail yourself out 

and split long before the fingerprints or other identification 

checks are completed.</p>



<p align="left">If by some chance you are placed on the "10 Most Wanted List" 

that is a signal that the FBI are indeed conducting a manhunt. It 

is also the hint that they have uncovered some clues and feel 

confident they can nab you soon. The List is a public relations 

gimmick that Hooper, or whatever his name is, dreamed up to show 

the FBI as super sleuths, and compliment the bullshit image of them 

that Hollywood lays down. Most FBI agents are southerners who 

majored in accounting or some other creative field. When you are 

placed on the List, go deeper underground. It may become necessary 

to curtail your activities for a while. The manhunt lasts only as 

long as you are newsworthy since the FBI is very media conscious. 

Change your disguise, identification and narrow your circle of 

contacts. In a few months, when the heat is off, you'll be able to 

be more active, but for the time, sit tight.</p>

<h4>

IDENTIFICATION PAPERS

</h4>

</a>



<p align="left">An amateur photographer or commercial artist with good 

processing equipment can make passable phony identification papers. 

Using a real I.D. card, mask out the name, address, and signature 

with thin strips of paper the same color as the card itself. Do a 

neat gluing job. Next, photograph the card using bright overhead 

lighting to avoid shadows, or xerox it. Use a paper of a color and 

weight as close to the real thing as you can get. If you use phony 

state and city papers such as birth certificate or driver's 

license, choose a state that is far away from the area in which you 

are located. Have a complete understanding of all the information 

you are forging. Dates, cities, birthdays and other data are often 

part of a coding system. Most are easy to figure out simply by 

studying a few similar authentic cards.</p>



<p align="left">Almost all I.D. cards use one or another IBM Selectric type to 

fill in the individual's papers. You can buy the exact model used 

by federal and state agencies for less than $20.00 and install the 

ball in 5 seconds on any Selectric machine. When you finish the 

typing operation, sign your new name and trim the card to the size 

you want. Rub some dirt on the card and bend it a little to 

eliminate its newness.</p>



<p align="left">Another method is to obtain a set of papers from a close 

friend of similar characteristics. Your friend can replace the 

originals without too much trouble. In both cases it might be 

advisable to get authentic papers using the phonies you have in 

your possession. In some states getting a license or voting 

registration card is very easy. Library cards and other 

supplementary I.D.'s are simple to get. A passport should not be 

attempted until you definitely have made up your mind to split the 

country. That way agencies have less time to check the information 

and you can decide on the disguise to be used for the picture. 

Unless you expect to get hotter than you are right now, in which 

case, get it now.</p>



<p align="left">It is wise to have two sets of identification to be on the 

safe side but never have both in your possession at the same time. 

If you sense the authorities are close to mailing you and choose to 

go underground, prepare all the identification papers well in 

advance and store them in a secure place. Inform no one of your 

possible new identity.</p>



<p align="left">Before you start passing phony I.D.'s to cops, banks and 

passport offices, you should have experience with lesser targets so 

you feel comfortable using them. There are stiff penalties for this 

if you get caught. A few better methods than the ones listed above 

exist, but we feel they should not be made this public. With a 

little imagination you'll have no trouble. Dig!</p>

<h4>

COMMUNICATION

</h4>

</a>



<p align="left">Living underground, like exile, can be extremely lonely, 

especially during the initial adjustment period when you have to 

reshuffle your living habits. Psychologically it becomes necessary 

to maintain a few close contacts with other fugitives or folks 

aboveground. This is also necessary if you plan to continue waging 

revolutionary struggle. This means communication. If you contact 

persons or arrange for them to contact you, be super cool. Don't 

rush into meetings. Stay OFF the phone! If you must, use pay 

phones. Have the contact person go to a prescribed booth at 

prescribed time. Knowing the phone number beforehand, you can call 

from another pay phone. The pay phone system is superior to 

debugging devices and voice scramblers. Even so, some pay phones, 

that local police suspect bookies use, are monitored.</p>



<p align="left">Keep your calls short and disguise your voice a bit. If you 

are a contact and the call does not come as scheduled, don't panic. 

Perhaps the booth at the other end is occupied or the phone you are 

on is out of order. In New York, the latter is usually true. Wait a 

reasonable length of time and then go about your business. Another 

contact will be made. Personal rendezvous should take place at 

places that are not movement hangouts or heavy pig scenes. 

Intermediaries should be used to see if anyone was followed. Just 

groove on a few good spy flicks and you'll figure it all out.</p>



<p align="left">Communicating to masses of people above ground is very 

important. It drives the MAN berserk and gives hope to comrades in 

the struggle. The most important message is that you are alive, in 

good spirits and carrying on the struggle. The communications of 

the Weathermen are brilliantly conceived. Develop a mailing list 

that you keep well hidden in case of a bust. You can devise a 

system of mailing stuff in envelopes (careful of fingerprints) 

inside larger envelopes to a trusted contact who will mail the 

items from another location to further camouflage your area of 

operation. A host of communication devices are available besides 

handwritten notes and typed communications. Tape recorders are 

excellent but better still are video-tape cassette machines. You 

can wear masks, do all kinds of weird theatrical stuff and send the 

tapes to television stations. At times you might want to risk being 

interviewed by a newsman, but this can be very dangerous unless you 

conceive a super plan and have some degree of trust in the word of 

the journalist. Don't forget a grand jury could be waiting for him 

with a six months contempt or perjury charge when he admits contact 

and does not answer their questions.</p>



<p align="left">The only other advice is to dress warm in the winter and cool 

in the summer, stay high and.

<b>THE SUBWAY SYSTEM</b>

<p align="left">The first thing to do is get familiar with the geography of 

stops you use most frequently. Locate the token cage. Check to see 

whether the exits are within easy view of the teller, off to the 

side, or blocked from view by concrete pole-supporters. Next learn 

the type of turnstile in use. Follow the hints laid down in the 

Free Transportation section.</p>



<p align="left">The rush hours are always the easiest times. Just go through 

the exits as people push open the door. Also at crowded hours, 

people go single file past the turnstiles, one after another in a 

steady stream. Get in line and go under. The people will block you 

from view and won't do anything. Even a cop won't give you much 

hassle. Some subway stations have concrete supports that block the 

teller's view. Where these exist, slip through the exit nearest the 

pole or slide by the turnstile.</p>



<p align="left">Turnstile jumping is such a skill, it's going to be added to 

the Olympics. There are three basic styles common to New York and 

most cities and each needs a slightly different approach.</p>



<p align="left">The Old Wooden Cranker-(Traditional) You have to go under or 

sail over this type. Going under is a smoother trip. Going over is 

trickier since you need both hands free to hurdle and it's a 

quicker, more noticeable motion.</p>



<p align="left">New-Aluminum-Bar-Turnstiles-Which-Turn-Both-Ways-For-Exit-and-

Entrance-Approach it with confidence. Pretend you're putting in a 

token with your right hand and pull the bar toward you one third of 

the way with your left hand. Go through the space left between the 

bars and the barrier. Not for heavyweights!</p>



<p align="left">New-Aluminum-Bar-Turnstiles-Which-Can-Be-

Used-Only-For-Entrance-They won't pull towards you, and so, you 

must go either under or over them.</p>



<p align="left">NOTE: There is no way to tell a 

New-Aluminum-Bar-Turnstile-Which-Turns-Both--

Ways-For-Exit-and-Entrance from a New-Aluminum-Bar-Turnstile-Which-

Can-Be-Used-Only-For-Entrance unless there is a sign. You have to 

try it first. Therefore, it is important to remember which kind is 

in use at your local station so your technique will be smooth. Once 

you're through, remember in your mind you've paid. Ignore everybody 

who tries to stop you or tell you different. If someone shouts just 

keep on truckin' on toward your track. Don't stop or run. Insist 

you are right if you ever get caught. We have been doing it for 

years, got caught twice and let go both tunes when other passengers 

insisted we paid. Everybody hates the subways, even the tellers.</p>

FREEBIES

</h4>

</a>



<b>Clothing Repairs</b>

<p align="left">All Wallach stores feature a service that includes sewing on 

buttons, free shoe horns, and shoe laces, mending pants pockets and 

linings, punching extra holes in belts, and a number of other free 

services.</p>



<b>Furniture</b>

<p align="left">By far the best place to get free furniture in New York is on 

the street. Once a week in every district, the Sanitation 

Department makes bulk pick-ups. The night before, residents put out 

all kinds of stuff on the street. For the best selection try the 

West Village on Monday nights, and the East Seventies on Tuesday 

nights. On Wednesday night there are fantastic pick-ups on 35th St. 

in-back of Macy's. Move quickly though, the guards get pissed off 

easily; the truckers couldn't care less. This street method can 

furnish your whole pad. Beds, desks, bureaus, lamps, bookcases, 

chairs, and tables. It's all a matter of transportation. If you 

don't have access to a car or truck, it's worth it to rent a 

station wagon and make pick-ups.</p>



<b>Ghosts</b>

<p align="left">If you would like to meet a real ghost, write Hans Holtzer, 

c/o New York Committee for Investigation for Paranormal Research, 

140 Riverside Drive, New York, NY. He'll put you in touch for free.</p>

<p align="left">The Staten Island Ferry-Not free, but a nickel each way for a 

five mile ocean voyage around the southern tip of Manhattan is 

worth it. Take IRT (Broadway line) to South Ferry, local only. 

Ferry leaves every half-hour day and night.</p>



<b>Drugs</b>

Eighties are located many doctor's offices. Daily they throw out

<p align="left">Contrary to rumors, none of us have ever been to Chicago. 

None-the-less, we have some friends who have visited the area. In 

Chicago, everyone 17 or under must be off the streets by 10:30 PM 

and by 11:30 PM on Fridays and Saturdays. Don't sleep in Lincoln 

Park during political conventions, but other nights it's O.K. 

Wasn't it Hillel who asked, "Why is this night different from all 

other nights?" And wasn't it Mayor Richard J. Daley who responded, 

"Cause I say get your ass out of the park!"</p>



<p align="left">The Chicago Seed (929-0133) will give you the best advice on 

crashing and the local heat scene. Grace Lutheran Church, 555 W. 

Beldon St., and the Looking Glass at 1725 W. Wilson also have 

crashing places or know where you can find free room and board.</p>



<p align="left">You won't get hassled if you sack out in the Union Station on 

Adams Street just over the bridge. There are loads of folks 

crashing in abandoned buildings along LaSalle and other streets. 

Also the rooftops are cool. Stay off the streets though, unless 

you've got good identification.</p>

FOOD

</h4>

</a>



<p align="left">SCLC (Operation Breadbasket) has a free breakfast program 

every morning Monday through Friday from 7-10 AM at St. Anna 

Church, 55th St. and LaSalle St., and also at Christ the King 

Lutheran Church located at 3700 Lake Park.</p>



<p align="left">You can get free samples of cheese, meat, and coffee everyday 

at the Stop and Shop food store located on Washington between 

Dearborn and State Streets. At the Treasure Island grocery store 

located on Broadway, two blocks north of Belmont, free coffee and 

cookies are offered for the people. Halloway House at 27 W. 

Randolph gives coupons good for coffee. Also at the Guild Bookstore 

at 25 W. Jackson Blvd., and from the machines at the 4th through 

14th floors of the Playboy Building.</p>



<p align="left">There are real cheap restaurants. One is a truck-stop in 

Skokie called Karl's Cafe. It's just north of Oakton on Skokie 

Highway. It's open until 6:00. You get a whole lot of food for 

$1.00. Also, under the viaduct at Milwaukee and Damen is a small 

restaurant with Polish food. You can get a great meal for $1.35. 

It's worth a visit. It closes early in the evening. Another cheap 

restaurant is Paul and Ernie's on North Lincoln, just south of 

Wrightwood. You can have a beef dinner for about 70 cents.</p>



<p align="left">A good place to pick up free vegetables and fruits is at the 

wholesale market on Randolph St. or S. Water St. on Friday 

afternoons. Many of the food factories such as Kraft Dairy Products 

give away free samples and cases for "charity." Check them out.</p>



<p align="left">It is possible to steal food from the 2nd floor Federal 

Building Cafeteria at Adams and Dearborn and the National Cafeteria 

at Clark and Van Buren. These cafeterias usually have long lines 

and you can eat while standing and just pay for the coffee.</p>



<p align="left">If you have a place to cook and store food, there are a few 

places that have pretty cheap food. The east gate of International 

Harvester, located at 1015 W. 120th St. is unbelievable. Dig these 

bargains! 10 pounds of T-bone steaks (boxed) for $5.25 at midnight. 

at 4 PM, the produce man brings a different combination of goods. A 

typical bill of fare might include tomatoes, cucumbers, 

strawberries, etc. at $1.00 for 10 pounds of any item. The produce 

might vary from day to day, but the prices stay the same. On 

Thursdays at noon and 4 PM, the Lennell cookie man comes around. 

It's $1.25 per box. At 7 PM, the sausage man arrives and the 

standard price is $2.00. The standard size is 3 to 5 pounds. He has 

salami, liver sausage, polish sausage, and usually odd lunchmeat 

such as bologna or summer sausage. All the food is sold out of 

trucks, and the prices might not be exact, but they're pretty 

close.</p>



<p align="left">Eggs are about 3 dozen for $2.00 on Randolph west of Halsted. 

Orange juice is pretty cheap at the Del Farm on Broadway. Wonder 

Bread thrift store on Diversey; Butternut, 87th St. and Ridgeland 

and 1471 W. Wilson, and Silvercup, 55th and Federal, offer bread 

and rolls at big discounts. The Cicero Bottling Company at 31st St. 

and 48 Court sell a case of 12 quart bottles for $2.00. Mamas 

Cookies, 7400 S. Kastner give 5 pounds for $1.50. At Burhops, State 

and Grand, you can get cheap 5-pound boxes of steak. The Railroad 

Salvage around Madison and Halsted has dented cans (with stuff 

inside) for big discounts. It is also a good place for paper 

products. Campbell Soup, 2250 W. 55th St., open Tuesday and 

Thursday, will give you cases free or at discounts if you tell them 

it's for charity or look straight. Two good spots for all around 

shopping are the Hi-Lo on Lincoln, north of Irving. There's lots of 

stuff for 10 cents. Marathon Products at Randolph and Halsted is 

another good place.</p>

city has just opened 14 free lunch centers throughout the town.

Clark Gable and other loved ones are tucked away here. You can turn 

on in front of the Jean Hersholt Memorial, fuck in the Aisle of
